Summary
Mary Trump is joined by American Resistance author David Rothkopf for a discussion of how Donald exploited our system of checks and balances to open the gateway towards fascism and how civil servants managed to stop him. But without legal repercussions, our democracy is still at risk from those who would use cynicism, racial grievances, and opportunity to hijack our system. So far, voting has worked– are we up to the challenge of promoting our values and fighting to elect their champions in the midterms?

| 0:45.0 | Can't imagine why. |
| 0:46.6 | What do you have 12 days left until the midterms? |
| 0:51.3 | Yeah, passing very rapidly. |
