    Extreme right wingers have always been a part of American history.

    A Nazi style government was supported by the same actors then too - the rich folks like the Duponts and Mellons. The NRA was pro Nazi, or at least pro-wealth, back then too. One man took the whole operation down, Major General Smedley Darlington Butler. The rich criminals, however, weaseled their way out accountability - sound familiar? The Business Plot should have been required reading in schools. A good book on this is, “The Plot To Seize The White House”. It is only 244 pages and is an absolutely fascinating read.

      Good on you for the book. The link just goes to Amazon’s homepage though.

      In line with not supporting Amazon when possible here’s the book on bookshop.org. Additionally, it may be available through your local library or digitally if they provide Libby.
