They discuss how the far-right’s call for a “Red Caesar” means welcoming chaos and dictatorship with open arms, the media’s discomfort with directly covering MAGA’s autocratic actions, and why a failure of imagination continues to be one of the greatest dangers to our nation’s democracy. Plus, a look at the American college system through a political lens.
