A long time ago I wrote a thing about how the speech that absolutely destroyed Charles Lindbergh, who up to that time was treated as a demigod, would scarcely register now. You read 10 worse and more vituperative expressions of the same ideas every day now. thebaffler.com/latest/back-...

Lindbergh was asked in 1943 by the navy to devise bombing runs in the Pacific. That said where Lindbergh supported fascism current American antidemocrats want apartheid

Skillman St., a major Dallas traffic artery, was originally named Lindbergh Blvd. In the late 30's Lindbergh's views on Germany resulted in Lindbergh Blvd. being re-named Skillman St. for W. F. Skillman, a Dallas banker. Lindbergh, of course, went on to fly 50 combat missions in WWII...for the U.S.

I was thinking about this a lot when I took a group of students to the WWII Museum this week. There was a reasonably good section on Lindbergh, America First, and the isolationists. What was striking to me was how little that position would shock any 19 year-old.

Great minds think alike and sometimes us too! Just replied on Jamelle’s post that it’s not simply America First, but an embrace and admiration of fascism closer to the collaborationist regimes of Norway and France.
