Review of Hillary's America: The Secret History of the Democratic Party (2016) by Genxy — 29 Jul 2016
What a puff piece of propaganda and half truths. The filmmaker insults our intelligence by not only being completely inaccurate about Andrew Jackson (to those of us that know American history well), but also by pretending the Dixiecrat voting block did not switch political affiliation en masse over civil rights, largely attributed to the successful efforts of Jesse Helms and Strom Thurmond.
Disenfranchised Southern voters, post-Civil War, seeped outside of the South into parts of the mountain west, midwest, and southwest after the civil war. There they expanded a rigid culture that, formerly Democratic, still remains Republican red to this day.
The 21st century GOP and 21st century Democratic party are the complete opposite of their pre-1900's institutions (1960's in the South). I did give this 2 stars for the slightly comedic aspect of this (mixed with passable film production) and for the fact that Hillary Clinton's motives for the presidency are very likely less than pure.
Other than that, it should be viewed as conservative entertainment, but not taken to heart as absolute truth. Which is what I am afraid that some less than educated minds will do.
