On this episode of The Enemies List, Rick Wilson and Webby Award-winning activist Leigh McGowan (PoliticsGirl) explore the dangers of the current political climate and the rise of autocracy. They discuss the implications of the Supreme Court's decisions, the need for court reform, and the need to protect democracy from the far right's fifty-year ideological project. They also discuss lessons from "The Handmaid's Tale" and how people become afraid very fast when their rights are taken away.
