History Repeats Itself: First as Tragedy, Then as Trump – Peter Kuznick Pt. 1/2
In part one, Peter Kuznick warns that Trump 2.0 is more dangerous than the original. The generals and advisors who once called him a “moron” are gone — replaced by sycophants in what Kuznick calls a “kakistocracy,” government by the worst people. From threatening to seize Panama, Greenland, and Canada to leading the most corrupt administration in U.S. history, Trump now faces little resistance from Congress, courts, or his own party. Kuznick and Barry Stevens explore how the takeover of cultural institutions mirrors past fascist movements — and how America’s lack of historical memory leaves it vulnerable to repeating old disasters. The most urgent threat: Trump’s unpredictable stance on Ukraine could trigger the war he claims to oppose.
