We’ve Got Issues

This week, Liz Preza and Joshua Holland talk about the fact that we've been reduced to counting on the generals to stave off Donald Trump's authoritarianism.

The Nixonland author's phone has been ringing off the hook since Trump leaned into a Nixonian law and order theme for his floundering campaign, but Perlstein sees more differences than similarities between the two men and the eras in which they've governed.
