46:12Now PlayingDonald Trump has spent years attacking journalism, democratic institutions, Congress, the courts, and even the reality of January 6. But independent journalist Scott MacFarlane says the political consequences may finally be catching up with Trump and the Republican Party.
Scott joins Edwin Eisendrath on *It’s the Democracy, Stupid* to break down the GOP’s increasingly difficult position heading toward the midterms: Democratic enthusiasm, anti-incumbent anger, Trump’s unpopular war in Iran, a damaging jobs report, the fight over the Epstein files, January 6 pardons, and Republicans’ repeated unwillingness to serve as a check on Trump.
They also examine what Democrats should do if they regain power, whether Supreme Court reform is becoming unavoidable, and why accountability is fundamentally different from political retribution.
