Deteriorating Trust and Global Implications

This chapter examines the declining trust in the U.S. government and its dire implications for democracy at home and abroad. Through personal anecdotes and historical context, the speakers highlight the political turmoil in Eastern Europe and its effects on international stability, particularly regarding Russia's actions. The discussion also critiques the superficial understanding of democracy and explores the rise of a post-truth era, urging Europe and Canada to acknowledge the dangers of America's declining influence.
