Summary

Sami, Kaitlin, and Amanda reflect on Angela Merkel’s legacy and what women in leadership can learn from her hits and misses. Then they unpack the Atlantic article everyone’s talking about titled “Trump’s Next Coup Has Already Begun.” They highlight the new information and detail why Republican theft of the presidency in 2024 is guaranteed without action from Democrats. They agonize over why Democrats haven’t taken the threat seriously enough and what demands a mass democracy protest could make to prevent a literal coup. What would democracy tell us with its dying breath? Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
