414: Trump’s Authoritarian Appointments

414: Trump’s Authoritarian Appointments

This week there is a big elephant in the room that we must start talking about: Defeat. Host Rick Wilson stresses the importance of continuing to fight the corruption of Trump and his allies despite the electoral defeat. As the groundwork for authoritarianism is already being laid with Trump’s most recent cabinet selections, Rick reminds listeners who some of these people, such as Matt Gaetz and Tulsi Gabbard, really are.
