Roger Stone is a political operative who got his professional start working for Richard Nixon and his "dirty tricks" gang. (His original start was as a school kid when JFK was running against Nixon and his school sponsored a mock election. Because Stone was a Catholic, he favored Kennedy. So he cornered every kid waiting on line at the cafeteria and told them that Nixon had proposed making Saturday a school day. Guess who won that mock election in a landslide.) "Get Me Roger Stone" is a documentary of Stone's career, up to and including his work for Donald Trump. Stone really emerges as kind of an American Goebbels, with all that implies. His rise is indicative of how and why the mainstream of the capitalist class prefers to rule through capitalist democracy, and the degree to which that has broken down in the US. No, not completely, but it's definitely been weakened. And the rise of Roger Stone in a personalized way shows how that's happened. Available on Netflix for those who have it. Well worth watching.
