YouTube Description
as posted by the channelAs the Trump Administration marches towards authoritarian control, historian Heather Cox Richardson turns to American history after the Civil War for strategies on how the masses can rise up & rally.
Historian and Substack grand maven Heather Cox Richardson joined me today to discuss how we all can fight back against an increasingly authoritarian Trump regime that is trying to stifle dissent, hollow out the government, ban books, threaten critics, and amass as much money as possible until Trump’s cankles give out. Instead of looking to Europe, Richardson takes the Delorean back to the 19th century and makes parallels with white supremacy’s attempt to undo Reconstruction. She also offers us examples of resistance and hope that can light the way forward.
