America & the Philippines Part V: The Duterte Death Squads
This is the fifth and final episode in a series regarding America's history with its first colony, the Philippines. The Philippines gained its independence in the wake of WWII, but remained close allies until the rise of Rodrigo Duterte, a firebrand populist who centered a violent war on drugs at the heart of his agenda. Written before the election of Donald Trump to a second non-consecutive term, this episode looks at the parallel's between Duterte's demonization against drug users and the way that the GOP talks about illegal migrants in the US.
