I talk with University of Pennsylvania’s Damon Linker about teaching American government while our political system is rapidly being dismantled. We discuss the growing gap between the theory and the practice of American government, reasons for pessimism and optimism, and whether young people think the politics of the Trump era is just normal.

In light of the flagrant abuse of the FCC to shut down Donald Trump’s critics, I also recommend going back to check out a previous interview with Paul Matzko about how the FCC’s powers have frequently been abused. We really saw this coming and explained it all months before it happened.
Speaking of explaining what’s happening, check out my new book, Dictator From Day One: How Donald Trump Is Overthrowing the Constitution and How to Fight Back, described by Damon Linker as “journalism of a very high order” and by Steven Pinker as “the best short summary of how Trump is turning the US into a dictatorship.”
