Host Reed Galen is joined by Dr. Steven Levitsky (Professor of Government at Harvard University) to discuss how authoritarianism continues to threaten American democracy, why the GOP continues to publicly embrace authoritarianism while many privately denounce it, and what to expect from Trump, DeSantis, and the rest of the 2024 hopefuls. Plus, is the United States in line for a violent origin of durable authoritarianism? Be sure to pre-order Dr. Levitsky’s upcoming book, “Tyranny of the Minority: Why American Democracy Reached the Breaking Point”.
