Alt-America looks at how extremist right wing viewpoints rose in prominence over the years, eventually leading to Trump. It‘s well done and I learned a lot, though some of this I already knew. I did have to take frequent breaks from this, as some of the people profiled have worldviews so different from mine that they seem frightening and delusional to me (I‘m sure the feeling is mutual, though I‘m not militant and these folks are).
