Ruth Ben-Ghiat joins the podcast to talk about the EXTREME DANGERS of Trump’s authoritarian vision for America. Ben-Ghiat is a professor of history at NYU, an author, and a leading scholar on authoritarianism and fascism.
Ruth tells our listeners how, as a published author on fascist regimes like those of Mussolini or Hitler, she recognized the dangers of Trump’s candidacy early on. “I thought, ‘My God,’ This is all very familiar to me. He’s going to have a cult following. I was able to recognize the signs, not just in Trump, but in the GOP.” Visit DworkinSubstack.com for full interview.
