“Death of a Nation,” the latest film from Dinesh D’Souza, makes some extreme claims that will surely ruffle more than a few feathers on both the Left and the Right: President Trump is the new Abraham Lincoln and the Democratic Party was once too racist even by Nazi standards.
In a clip obtained exclusively by The Hollywood Reporter, one scene in “Death of a Nation” explores how Nazis should classify Jews in 1930’s Germany. Given that American eugenicists provided one of the means by which the Nazis perpetrated their atrocities, Germans looked to the United States for how to implement their racial policies. One policy, in particular, was the “one-drop rule,” which conferred inferiority onto anyone who had so much as a fraction of non-white genetics in their ancestry. Such a policy, D’Souza says, even the Nazis considered indecent.
