Ep. 139: Heather Cox Richardson Warns That We Can Still Stop Dictator Trump and the American Fascist Movement

Heather Cox Richardson is Professor of History at Boston College. She is the author of numerous books including her most recent, Democracy Awakening. Richardson’s Substack newsletter “Letters From an American” is essential reading and is subscribed to by 1,400,000 people.

She explains how the study of American history and peoples’ movements to expand real democracy are critical for defeating Trumpism, American neofascism and global illiberalism today. Heather also reflects on how her background as a working-class person helped to prepare her for the intellectually, spiritually, emotionally, and physically demanding work of defending American democracy in her role and responsibility as someone who thinks and writes publicly for a living.
