Pointed out the cost in blood and human carnage that was unleashed upon humanity in World War Two. Then he would have drawn the comparisons between the rise of fascist regimes in Europe in the 20's and 30's and the current actions of the Maga Party. He would have asked Americans what our fathers and grandfathers fought for in WWII.

It would have been a tour de force.

I would also like to know what James Baldwin would have thought because the Fire Next Time sure sounds like where Maga wants to go.
