I listened to Rachel Maddow's podcast Ultra season 2 on a long plane flight today/yesterday.
It draws very strong parallels between post WWII fascism and current events.
Blackmail, murder and other violence were also rampant during the McCarthy era.
Not explaining well too many time zones but I highly recommend the podcast.
