Summary

How does liberty die? According to Padmé, with thunderous applause. According to The New York Times, with an ill-timed op-ed ghostwritten by Putin. And according to John Pitney, professor of American politics at Claremont McKenna, maybe with Trump? John joins the show to play Remnant bingo, but also to make the case that Trump’s oft-praised abrasiveness isn’t actually very American — and that his behavior usually stifles liberty instead of promoting it. Show Notes: -Pitney’s book, Un-American: The Fake Patriotism of Donald J. Trump -Pitney's piece on Obama and Trump -Richard Weaver, Ideas have Consequences -The Federalist Papers, free and online -So this is how liberty dies -P.J.
