Quotes by Arthur Goldwag (?)

“In 1890, Donnelly published Caesar’s Column, a dystopian science fiction novel set in the far-off 1980s, when the United States had become a capitalist tyranny controlled by a ruthless Jewish oligarchy.”
― Arthur Goldwag, The New Hate: A History of Fear and Loathing on the Populist Right

“What’s new today is how far into the mainstream many of those themes have penetrated—or to put it more precisely, how far to the right the whole political current has shifted. The New Hate is the same as the Old Hate—only now it’s hiding in plain sight.”
― Arthur Goldwag, The New Hate: A History of Fear and Loathing on the Populist Right
