Today, a timely and must-see documentary makes its debut.

If you don’t have Hulu you can sign up for a free month trial.

It’s become obvious in the days following his diagnosis that he and many Republicans have no intention of learning from their mistakes and changing the way they’re dealing with the pandemic. Check out the chilling trailer below.

Denying the past, flocking to fundamentalist Christianity and ultra-orthodox Catholicism. Attacking other religions and customs as ancient and barbaric, and calling on past glories as justification for new horrors.

This is more than the Far Right though, this is the Dark Right. The Right that rules without conscience or caring, the Deep Right that wants a return to old values and restriction of personal freedoms. Workers with no contracts on poor wages, and immigrants driven out, or ‘sent home’. The Right that asserts that everyone should fend for themselves, pay their own…
