Weaponised Social Media and the Radical MAGA Cult Threaten to Destroy US Democracy - David DeBatto

Has Trump inflicted permanent damage on American democracy? Or in the long run, will his efforts to pervert and destroy American institutions make American democracy stronger? What is the role of social media in amplifying extreme points of view and the voices of conspiracy theorists? The last few years has placed unprecedented pressure on America’s democratic institutions and traditions. Today I am joined by David DeBatto to explore the effects of this full-frontal assault on Western democracy, and to discuss what comes next as Trump contemplates his next crack at the presidency.

David DeBatto is a geopolitical analyst, writer, and podcaster. He is a retired U.S. Army Counterintelligence Special Agent and Iraq war veteran. He served as Team Leader of a Tactical Human Intelligence Team (THT) in operations within Iraq and is also a former police officer. David is considered too conservative for the progressive left and too independent minded for the radical right, which may suggest he is getting the balance about right? Either way, David is a controversialist of sorts, often irreverent, always passionate and seeks to challenge political dogma and the naked self-interest of certain politicians. He has strong pro-science and pro education credentials and condemns the encroachment on society of irrational, violent and dangerous conspiracy theories.
