Strongmen in America - PG:CC with Ruth Ben-Ghiat

We shouldn’t have to be talking about authoritarianism, strongmen and propaganda in 21st Century America, and yet here we are. Join me and my guest Ruth Ben-Ghiat, professor of History and Italian studies at NYU, advisor to ‘Protect Democracy’, and author of ‘Strongmen: From Mussolini to the Present’ as we discuss the danger the United States is in, and what we, the voting public, can do as the last line of defense between us and the very worst instincts of the Republican Party.    Guest social: Twitter: @ruthbenghiat Website: https://ruthbenghiat.com Please RATE and SUBSCRIBE so we can grow the show, open the dialogue, and inspire change moving forward!
