Trump's Threat to American Democracy
With Donald Trump seeking re-election, the question arises: Do Americans have 12 months to save their democracy? Trump's success in the Republican Party is fueled by factors such as Democratic Party actions, incitement almost to violence, contempt for the rule of law, and prejudice. Despite his controversial actions and rhetoric, he continues to lead in the polls. The danger lies in Trump being unbound in a potential second term, with even fewer constraints on his actions and disregard for democratic norms. The podcast discusses the potential semi-fascist nature of Trumpism and the challenges it presents to America's future.
