The Editor:
I am writing to thank Ron Snyder for his excellent letter and comprehensive review of fascism in The Northern Light (August 28 issue). l am guessing that most of us reading The Northern Light are feeling general angst about health care, voting rights and the future of our children as we watch the deterioration of democracy in our country.
Ron’s letter deals with the history of fascism, and I wish to point out that there is a great source of historical references in Heather Cox Richardson’s “Letters from an American.” In her regular articles and podcasts, this eminent historian reaches back to look at events in U.S. history which mirror those happening today. These often offer a wider view of events and show how voters were able to reverse bleak trends in our country.
For more, see heathercoxrichardson@substack.com. It is so important that all voters understand the background of all issues and participate in all of our elections. Elections will determine whether our country is going to be the “largest banana republic in the history of the world” or whether we regain our democracy and return to a country of scientists, scholars, businessmen and artists.
