43:23Now PlayingThe 250th anniversary of the United States represents more than just a major milestone – it is a defining moment for defending the country’s future.
With Donald Trump’s authoritarian push eroding our democratic norms, the question is no longer about whether American democracy is under threat, but whether we are willing to fight for it.
So have we lost touch with the vision our founding fathers put forth? And is American democracy at its breaking point?
In this Substack Live conversation, Heather Cox Richardson, renowned historian and author of the Substack newsletter ‘Letters from an American’, spoke with Zeteo’s John Harwood about the state of American democracy and what we can learn from the past 250 years of our nation’s history.
