Is it that people want an authoritarian or that people would rather have an authoritarian than a black woman? I'm sure it's both, but figuring out the ratio is going to be important for Dems trying to win again.
Half of the US electorate has turned its back on democracy, it’s up to the other half to not allow it to happen, bring the country to a standstill if needs be!
Great episode, specially for someone like me living in Europe and having problems with understanding what's happening in USA. Now I have a better picture here.
We don't have to go on X-Twitter to fight. I am not putting one click on Elon's web site and putting even more money in that man's pocket. That is not fighting. Donald trump is a scumbag, there is not enough we can say against him. If we call him a Fascist every day, it's not enough.
I really enjoyed this--it tickles my brain and reminded me that this is not the first time we have been here in our US history--or some place similar. I really recommend this to everyone!! Thanks Jon and guest.
It feels like the end of democracy. There are rumors going around on X, just deleted my account, with video of Trump insinuating Elon stole the election for him. Truth or fiction? He's more emboldened & so are MAGAts who hate Democrats. I'm tired of the hate, which Trump seems to thrive on.
I listened to the full podcast yesterday and it is genuinely the most thought-provoking, interesting and positively challenging podcast I have listened to in a long time. If you value democracy, you need to listen to this.
We luv you Jon, your interview with Mark Carney was the best I’ve seen and from both of you, yet I can’t click on this snippet about “turning back on democracy”, it just turns my stomach at the thought we are at crossroads between democracy and whatever else.
Always split the Trump vote in people who will always vote Republican, always vote against the sitting president and people who deliberately vote for Trump. Also, he didn’t even get more than 50% of the popular vote.
Gee Jon, it’s not like you helped Trump win. I remember the “But Biden’s age” bs that you propagated without mentioning Trump’s age OR criminality. You’re getting exactly what you wanted, Jon… a Trump presidency gives you a platform from which to pretend you’re a man of the people. You. Are. Not!
This was a very interesting & intelligent conversation. I also do not agree with others that blame you for President Biden’s retirement; it was time and we still would have lost with him. #thankyouBiden
