I thank Ruth Ben-Ghiat for her hopeful and authentic approach to a very important issue threat to democracy today, not just in America, but globally. Keep up the excellent work!
"Democracy may not prove in the long run to be as efficient as other forms of government, but it has one saving grace: it allows us to know and say that it isn't." Bill Moyers
52:01 R B-G: "one of the saddest things that authoritarianism does, it puts u in situations where u feel u hav to betray yorself & yor loved ones. Democracy will nvr ask u to do that."
It was so interesting listening to this interview from a month ago. I do think what Harris/Waltz is doing right now is emotional re-education. Hopefully it will start reaching the base. It is already reaching the independents and moderate Republicans. I have hope again.
My siblings who are Trumpist Fundamentalist Christians may recognize Trump’s imperfections but their ultimate goal is to install a theocracy which is the aim of Project 2025. They fail to realize how extreme a theocratic state may become because it will be framed by the quality and aims of the leaders. Those in power often change and become endeared to all of that power which then changes them.
Trump and the word Christian should NEVER be used in the same sentence. Evangelical ISIS and the Christian TALIBAN....but I'm scared of the Muslims....hilarious.
