About this episode
Host Reed Galen is joined by Author, Historian, and Boston College History Professor, Heather Cox Richardson . They discuss the road the Republican party took to reach its current status, why Donald Trump (and those in his image) offer a dangerous/autocratic future, and why democracy (while imperfect) is the best path to achieve the America we want.
