Has it just about right.

Absolutely correct, bayowolf. Conservatives love to ignore the "Southern Strategy" that brought the great majority of Southern Democrat racists into the Republican Party by the 1970s. Sometimes revisionist history is not about what history you point out, but what history you OMIT.

Thanks for the link. I thought the rest of that paragraph towards the end was really good:

"There is no dialogue, no other side of the story, no research. There’s little more than nonstop empty rage and a late call to action to agree with the film after it’s duly pummeled you into submission, and get out to those ballot boxes. The film never once offers solutions to any of its conundrums, or addresses the ostensible second option at the polls this year. It offers nothing more than loud noises and social flashpoints, letting an audience scream “NO!” at abortions and social change and “YES” at “America” and actively discourages any kind of critical thought along the way. It’s politics as a series of buzzwords, aimed squarely at an audience whose intelligence the film disrespects from start to finish."

That's the reason I think D'Souza is just a hack trying to milk the Republican base for whatever he can get while he can. I think he knows the Republican ship is sinking (even if Trump wins this year) so he can't make money with this kind of nonsense forever. He's too smart to really believe in it. See my review at the start of the "Republican KKK is okay?" thread for another approach to the film.

But if you want to see an attempt to present the film as factual, take a look at the "Dear Democrats" thread. The guy who started it makes a pretense of being factual because he totally ignores any historical context. As your reviewer said, "It’s politics as a series of buzzwords."
