306: Our Democracy’s Last Shot

306: Our Democracy’s Last Shot

Host Reed Galen is joined by Lincoln Project Senior Advisor Trygve Olson to discuss the always growing division in the GOP, how a second Donald Trump term is a guarantee of American autocracy, and why it continues to be crucial for the pro-democracy movement to play the game we’re in…and not the game we know. Plus, what our democracy can learn from the recent elections in Poland. For more from Reed Galen, be sure to subscribe to “The Home Front”.
