Summary

Mary Trump assembles a team of #NerdAvengers consisting of Elie Mystal, Ruth Ben-Ghiat, Jen Taub, Brian Karem, Dahlia Lithwick, Charlotte Clymer, Dean Obeidallah, and Norm Ornstein to break down Donald’s increasingly crazy and criminal actions, and the growing threat of (not so semi) fascisom. Despite it, they emphasize our power to take back our democracy through a focus on state and local elections, winning the midterms, and fighting for universal rights if we speak out.
