If you want to quickly catch up on the state of fascism in the USA, this is a great resource; if you want a detailed history, read the books Evans quotes throughout The War On Everyone, or listen to select episodes of his podcast, Behind the Bastards.

Then ask them to work to rid the world of this nightmare before it ends us all.
