With Liberty & Justice for Some #76: Democracy, Tyranny & Hope with Timothy Snyder
Democracy is fragile. Authoritarianism often succeeds due to regular people passively changing rather than a dramatic coup. On this week’s podcast, I spoke with Timothy Snyder, author of the best-selling book, “On Tyranny,” to discuss just how fragile our democracy is. In the middle of this Trump presidency, the lessons in the book are even more timely.
