Join me and Harry Litman on today’s episode of Mea Culpa. Litman, a former U.S. Attorney, Deputy Assistant Attorney General, law professor, and legal commentator, is also the creator and host of the Talking Feds podcast. We dive into Trump’s authoritarian tactics, his divisive rhetoric, and how these influence public opinion leading up to the election. Litman highlights Trump’s appeal to the religious right and his strategy of framing the election as a loyalty test for groups like Jews and evangelicals. Together, we examine Trump’s use of dehumanizing language, conspiracy theories, and inflammatory remarks on mass deportations to mobilize his base. With only five days until the election, we discuss the risks of potential violence and emphasize the critical importance of strong voter turnout to protect democratic values.
