Some analysts call Donald Trump’s depredations so enormous that they can only be compared with ancient tyrants and dictators in other countries.

But the eminent historian Heather Cox Richardson of Boston College sees parallels between this MAGA moment and the American tumult of a century ago: the urgent desire to preserve white power against immigrants and racial minorities, the attempt to shield economic elites, the appeal of demagogues, the drive to dominate Latin American neighbors.

Watch this live discussion between Pulitzer-winning journalist John Harwood and Richardson.
