Will American Democracy Survive Trump?
The founders never anticipated a realpolitik in which the most powerful man in America is a reality TV star with autocratic impulses, kleptocratic policies, and an itchy Twitter finger. What role should citizens of good faith play when confronted by a leader who neither understands, nor abides by, the rule of law? This will be a spirited and provocative conversation about the future of our democracy, featuring Sarah Kendzior, a regular on MSNBC’s AM Joy and author of The View from Flyover Country; David Cay Johnston, a Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist and author of The Making of Donald Trump; and Steve Almond, New York Times best-selling author of Bad Stories: What the Hell Just Happened to Our Country.
