Summary Not since 1860 have the Democrats so fanatically refused to accept the result of a free election. That year, their target was Lincoln. They smeared him. They went to war to defeat him. In the end, they assassinated him. Now the target of the Democrats is President Trump and his supporters. The Left calls them racists, white supremacists ...

Throughout Death of a Nation, which has the usual attacks on Clintons and George Soros and the third act “patriotic performances by D’Souza approved singers, even an African American choir, the man finds himself coddling Nazis.
D'Souza fans and Trump apologists will flock to this, misguided moths to a misleading flame. In that way, it's a perfect representation of the current climate. In every other way, it's a mess.

Its Morbin Time

This is filmmaking as polemic, and much in the same way as Michael Moore’s (much better) films have a particular agenda to puzzle out various ways in which our country has failed us, this traffics in the same vein.
For all of its incendiary arguments, Death of a Nation is ultimately tedious and repetitive. No one expects, of course, that D'Souza would make a thoughtful, balanced or historically accurate documentary. But is it unreasonable to hope that he make one that doesn't bore the pants off us?
In Death of a Nation, Dinesh D’Souza is no longer preaching to the choir; he’s preaching to the mentally unsound. That’s how detached from reality his “philosophy,” his armchair rage, and his passionate and consuming desire to be a radical-right shill have become.
The meandering and insufferable Death of a Nation is little more than a greatest-hits collection of its creator’s favorite neocon conspiracy theories, which frame the Democratic Party for the fascistic tendencies embodied by Donald Trump.
D’Souza fails, as ever, to make an argument that would resonate outside the QAnon echo chamber.
A resounding movie that at best conveys the incrementing fascism of the radicalized left, and the patriotism of the right alongside it's greatest leaders Abraham Lincoln and Donald J Trump

Wow very in depth historical accuracy! Big surprise why this docu-drama has not received more attention. 5 out of 5 for the visuals to switching from all the different periods of USA history. Any liberal should avoid if they have thin skin for they might need to be hospitalized.

I mean, it’s what you think. Some interesting takes on history and accurate portrayals of modern groups, partnered with some inaccuracies and clear bias. People on the left will hate it, the right will champion it and those in the middle like me will get enough out of it but wish it was better.

The documentary adopts the position that the **** and Fascist regimens are far left progressive ideologies, attributing all right wing extremists as in fact left wing. It attempt to draw a comparison between Lincoln and Trump, while also drawing a comparison between the Democrats and the ****. It calls Mussolini as WWI veteran, even though he actually deserted the Italian army and avoided joining for as long as possible, demonstrating a miss understanding of the events of the 20th century. It also refers to President Woodrow Wilson as 'the first progressive president' despite the fact formed president Theodore Roosevelt ran against Wilson in the election against Wilson for the Progressive party. Wilson was in fact the third progressive president after Roosevelt and Taft. It also says that **** ousting of Röhm in the night of the long knives as having nothing to do with the fact that he was a ****. Although Goebbels has pushed for this ousting beforehand Röhm's **** helped to convince the party to oust him. The attempt to assert that **** was not a **** in the 1930's, when even the most open minded were, is frankly insulting. The documentary also argues that the Democrats are pro eugenics while also arguing against health care for all. This suggests a double standard to my mind that the apathy toward the poor does not also constitute eugenics in a form. In conclusion the discussion that this provides on political ideology is extremely black and white, it seems to argue that the right is all that is good and the left that is all that is bad, when in reality there is good and bad on both sides. While I personally fell I am left leaning I believe it is important to look at alternative views to challenge what you believe and form a better opinion. That is what drew me to this documentary, but I feel it missed that mark, the feeling it was trying to make me think their way was unavoidable and instead of introducing and interesting discussion it simple made its self difficult to connect with unless you already shared its opinion. Despite the unlikable aspects the historical re-enactments which it uses as padding are enjoyable, particularly the one about the white rose group which is an organisation which deserves more main stream recognition.
