8:09Now PlayingFor years, the media debated whether Donald Trump and the MAGA movement should be described with the “F-word”: fascist. On First Draft, Susan J. Demas and journalist Chris Matthias argue that debate now feels painfully outdated.
Matthias explains why institutions spent years manufacturing excuses for explicit racism and extremism, how MAGA’s far-right ideas have moved from the fringe into government power, and why ICE figures like Greg Bovino represent a dangerous blend of spectacle, brutality, and authoritarian politics.
Featuring Susan J. Demas and Chris Matthias on First Draft from Lincoln Square.
