1:08:36Now PlayingIn this powerful hour-long conversation, historian Heather Cox Richardson lays out the evidence that the modern GOP is no longer a conservative party it has transformed into a white nationalist movement openly embracing fascist language, violence, and ethnic purity politics.
There are no dog whistles left.
-No coded phrases.
-No pretend “both sides.”
From Trump to MAGA influencers to European far-right leaders, the right is now mainstreaming white supremacist talking points about remigration, “saving the white race,” and rolling back civil rights through force, propaganda, and authoritarian power grabs.
Heather explains how the death rattle of white supremacy is becoming a death march an all-or-nothing push to seize control of America by any corrupt or violent means necessary.
We break down:
• How the GOP became a white nationalist movement
• Why misogyny and racism fuel modern fascism
• How the attacks on Somalis and Muslims follow the SAME playbook once used on Irish and Italian immigrants
• Why authoritarian regimes always destroy their own first even loyalists
• Why apathy is the most dangerous weapon helping fascism rise
This conversation is a call to action:
If America wants a future grounded in multiracial democracy, hope, fairness, and actual freedom then the majority must stop being silent.
-Wake up.
-Speak up.
-And push back.
