1943 US War Department Anti-Fascist PSA - as relevant now as then. Moreso, even.

NONE of Trump's crap is new.

Link to tweet

In 1943 the US Dept of War made this film to stop fascism and discrimination in America, to stop US from falling prey to the tactics of Hitler. We need to watch it now to stop Trump and white supremacists and others mislead by his lies from destroying our democracy.

Oh, wait - never mind. I found it.
