Dinesh D'Souza's New Film 'Death of a Nation' Compares Trump to Lincoln, Liberals to Fascists
By Michael Gryboski, Christian Post Reporter | Jul 2, 2018
Conservative author and filmmaker Dinesh D'Souza's newest film "Death of a Nation" compares President Donald Trump to Abraham Lincoln and liberal critics to Fascists.
Scheduled for theatrical release on Aug. 3, D'Souza posted a trailer for the movie to YouTube last Friday, which has as of Monday morning gotten over 106,000 views.
The title appears to be an allusion to the controversial 1915 film "The Birth of a Nation," which lionized the Ku Klux Klan while villifying blacks and Reconstruction era Republicans.
The film's trailer compares critics of former president Lincoln to leftwing critics of Trump, asking "who are the real racists?" and "who are the real Fascists?"
"Through stunning historical recreations and a searching examination of fascism and white supremacy, "Death of a Nation" cuts through progressive big lies to expose hidden history and explosive truths," noted the trailer's description.
"Lincoln united his party and saved America from the Democrats for the first time. Can Trump — and we — come together and save America for the second time?"

Dinesh D'Souza's Death of a Nation: Rectifying revisionist history
By Patricia McCarthy August 8, 2018
All written history is revisionist. With each successive generation, history is rewritten by people with new access to classified information, memoirs of those who were present, and the ever changing political landscape that colors everything we read about history and current events, political and cultural. Often, the revisions of important events of the past are welcome and truthful, corrections of past misperceptions. But just as often, revisionist history is slanted toward the politics of the era, the decade, or the current climate.
Since the 1960s and the takeover of higher education by tenured radicals that followed, American history has indeed been revised to favor the progressive left and to indoctrinate Americans with a distorted view, if not outright misrepresentation, of the facts of American history. The 1960s were characterized by the anti-Americanism of the new left, and these leftists set out to drastically alter how Americans learned the history of their country. Academia, in short, lied. Its books lied.
Dinesh D'Souza's new documentary, Death of a Nation, attempts to correct the record and to inform viewers about the various -isms that are generally conflated by academics and the media, most all of whom are anti-American leftists: Nazism, socialism, communism, Marxism, fascism, and progressivism. They are all of a piece, and the left admires and endorses them all in one form or another. All are anti-capitalist, anti-American. All are characterized by totalitarianism to one degree or another.
To present this truth of the distortion of our nation's history is a dangerous act of courage. D'Souza is a brave man. He is also a grateful man, grateful to be an American. He was born in Mumbai.
