I know people love to describe future events in terms of past events but am afraid America is heading in a direction entirely orthogonal to its history.

Agreed, if you could show Americans from the 1950s what’s going on today with MAGA etc, I imagine most of it would consider it very alien.

Senator McCarthy/Roy Cohn and the John Birch Society might like a word. Just replace commie with liberal/progressive/marxist/socialist.

Roy Cohn was Don's business mentor.

i read a lot of history especially US, i don't think so at all. the reawakening? prohibition? you should definitely see the Reagan admin as a parallel

There are so many striking dissimilarities with Reagan admin on all but a handful policy directions that it can't serve as a parallel.
