Echoes of the 1930s in Trump's USA?

from The Breakfast Podcast · host Patricia López Muñoz

This episode is not comfortable. It doesn't intend to be. Today I open pages that many would like to close: dictatorships that crushed voices, crimes hidden under flags, silences that still scream. You will hear testimonies, fragments of memory, and analyses that make you uncomfortable. Because to remember is to resist. Because forgetting is also violence.Today I'm talking about something that doesn't happen suddenly, but silently, by decree, by omission: the dismantling of civil rights. What happens when the guarantees that sustain a democracy begin to erode? And why do some historians see disturbing echoes of 1930s Germany?
