Summary
Will Trump and Fox News be able to cover up the Covid deaths, or get white people to ignore them, and win? Or will he kill a million Americans, lose, and be seen by history as the man willing to let his fellow citizens die in droves for ultimately unsuccessful but purely political and purposes?
For the Book Club, Thom reads from "The American Revolution of 1800: How Jefferson Rescued Democracy from Tyranny and Faction and What This Means Today" by Dan Sisson and Thom Hartmann.
