Summary
Assad’s regime is on the brink of collapse. Romania and South Korea are showing the world how to stand up against Russia highjacking democracies. The U.S. has released a report stating that a foreign adversary is likely behind Havana Syndrome. This Monday, disinformation warfare researcher Dr. Emma Briant will join our political salon, to answer our questions about fighting back. These topics and more are covered in this week’s bonus show, available to our Truth-teller level subscribers and higher.
This week’s bonus show also tackles questions from our Patreon supporters at the Democracy Defender level and higher.
Jacob asks:
How easily could “mass detention” camps become slave labor camps under the 13th Amendment—and from there, devolve into death camps?
Trump’s promise to deport 11 million people can only be achieved through violence, and that violence would be carried out by those who take pleasure in it. To get to that point, Trump and his followers will defy the law, subvert the Constitution, as they did to come to power in 2016 and 2024.
Andrea and Terrell discuss the dangerous potential of Trump’s authoritarian immigration agenda, the risk of a violent crackdown on Latino communities, and whether this could escalate into a full-scale Trump invasion of Mexico. They also explore the irony of Republicans attempting to deport Latinos, a group that could actually help strengthen the party’s base. This discussion is available to our Truth-teller level subscribers and answers other pressing questions from our Democracy Defender-level supporters, including how to hold the media accountable.
If you didn’t hear your question answered this week, don’t worry—our Gaslit Nation Q&A continues, so stay tuned! Thank you to all our supporters—we could not make Gaslit Nation without you!
