American democracy: a Trumpian blip or a deeper malaise?
Manage episode 286235510 series 2886180
America is split into apparently irreconcilable political tribes and led by a highly divisive President who is upending democratic norms. The country is also being shaken by demonstrations against racial injustice and a severe economic downturn wrought by the mismanagement of the COVID-19 pandemic. Is American democracy having a momentary crisis or is it facing an existential threat? Professor Timothy Snyder (Yale University) joins us to investigate.
Further readings:
- Timothy Snyder’s books The Road to Unfreedom (2018) and Our Malady: Lessons in Liberty from a Hospital Diary (2020)
- Timothy Snyder’s article on Trump’s ‘Delay the election’ tweet in the Washington Post
