Summary
Trump hates democracy – but that’s not exactly something new for a leading Republican. To understand the history of the GOP hating people they don’t like being able to vote, Jarv is joined by Thom Hartmann, progressive talk show host and the author of The Hartmann Report, who earlier this year wrote a piece called: The GOP’s 60-Year Conspiracy to Kill Our Democracy: None Dare Call It Treason—But I Will.
