🚨 Today on Tarabuster, Tara Devlin welcomes sociologist and author Charles Derber to discuss his urgent new book, Wired for Authoritarianism: American Oligarchies and How to Re-Wire America for the People.
📚 Derber argues that Trump didn’t invent American authoritarianism—he made a long‑standing system of oligarchic power more open, brutal, and impossible to ignore.
We’ll dig into how corporate power, economic insecurity, and the mythology of American “exceptionalism” wired this country for strongman politics—and, more importantly, how we rewire it for real democracy.
💥 Don’t miss Tara’s signature mix of righteous outrage, humor, and hard truth as she tears apart another example of right-wing cosplay patriotism — and reminds us what real service, sacrifice, and love of country actually look like.
