About this listen

Who is killing America? Is it really Donald Trump and a GOP filled with white supremacists? In a major new work of historical revisionism, Dinesh D’Souza makes the provocative case that Democrats are the ones killing America by turning it into a massive nanny state modeled on the Southern plantation system.

This sweeping alternative history of the Democratic Party goes back to its foundations in the antebellum South. The slaveholding elite devised the plantation as a means of organizing labor and political support. It was a mini-welfare state, a cradle-to-grave system that bred dependency and punished any urge to independence. This model impressed Northern Democrats, inspiring the political machines that traded government handouts for votes from ethnic immigrant blocs.

Today's Democrats have expanded to a multiracial plantation of ghettos for blacks, barrios for Latinos, and reservations for Native Americans. Whites are the only holdouts resisting full dependency, and so they are blamed for the bigotry and racial exploitation that is actually perpetrated by the left.

Death of a Nation's bracing alternative vision of American history explains the Democratic Party's dark past, reinterprets the roles of figures like Van Buren, FDR, and LBJ, and exposes the hidden truth that racism comes not from Trump or the conservative right but rather from Democrats and progressives on the left.

Important read

All Americans whether politically minded or not needs to read this book. Too much important content here to comment on but the continued theme of the Democrat party being the party of lies, deception, racism, socialism, greed etc ... is damning. Some Republicans have and continue to be a part of this too. Great work again by Dinesh. Well done. What an American treasure you are. When are you coming to visit Australia? :)

Excellent book! Must read book if you want to learn about racism in the USA

As a Portuguese born Australian, I wanted to learn more about the cause of racism in America from an outsider (migrant) view point.
Dinesh D’Souza did just that, he left no stone unturned by tracing American history, with accounts of what really happened from primary sources.

You won’t regret reading this book. From start to finish, this book takes you on a journey from pre-revolution to the latest headlines, while exposing the truth of the new and old “plantation” owners.

Thank you Mr D’Souza for separating facts from propaganda and exposing the truth underlying Americans two party system.
