- Throughout America’s history an illiberal strain of political thought has existed within our democratic society, argues Pulitzer-Prize winning historian Steven Hahn in his new book Illiberal America. We see it today in White Nationalism, “America First,'' demonization of immigrants and people of color, anti-Semitism, stand your ground laws and more. But when does illiberalism cross the line into fascism, and what are the warning signs? These are the questions that will center a conversation with Hahn and Ruth Ben-Ghiat, a leading expert on authoritarianism and democracy protection whose latest book, Strongmen: Mussolini to the Present serves, in a sense, as a wakeup call to America. Moderated by Michael Waldman, president and CEO of the Brennan Center for Justice, these experts will bring perspective to the moment we live in as American citizens debate education, guns, and abortion, and countdown to the November elections.
Ruth Ben-Ghiat needs to be everywhere. Her analysis of Project 2025 and what it means for the rest of our lives in America is truly terrifying. The fact that it is not leading the news every day is media malpractice at the highest level.
Prof. Ben Ghiat is the most articulate & relevant of these 3 Scholars, Thank you!
Excellent discussion. Thank you for posting this.
Interstingly, Eugenics is at the center of the DHS portion of Project 2025....

Communism By The Back Door.
When I talk about pure socialism; I often talk about Libyan leader Mohammar Gaddafi, who took the resources of his country and gave it back to his people.
Jeffrey, this is nonsense and you know it.
"Politics is now and always has been just the clever and deceptive art of using euphemisms, lies, emotionalism, and fear-mongering in order to dupe average people like you and me into accepting and demanding the chains of our own enslavement."- Larken Rose. The Dangerous Superstition.
