Russia went from a home of 5 million Jews in 1900 to 50 thousand now. After chasing millions of Jews away, it got very good at cultivating Jewish connections, such as Lev Leviev, who counts both Trump and Putin among his personal friends. Leviev installed "Putin's rabbi" Berel Lazar, who met Lauder.

Putin was assassinating political opponents and journalists long before anyone called him a fascist. In 2003, Freedom House categorized Russia as "partly free." If it is fascist now, the transition happened sometime in the past and was overlooked by many observers, including Alexei Navalny.

In 2009-2010, Glenn Beck popularized the hatred of Woodrow Wilson among the Tea Party. Beck drew inspiration from Ronald Pestritto, a professor at Hillsdale College, and Cleon Skousen, an influential Mormon conspiracist. Skousen believed Wilson's Fed and income tax were parts of an evil conspiracy.
