There are two guests on this week's special fundraising month episode of The Chauncey DeVega Show.
Jared Yates Sexton is the author of The People Are Going to Rise Like the Waters Upon Your Shore: A Story of American Rage. He is also a professor in the Writing and Linguistics Department at Georgia Southern University. Jared is a fellow traveler and friend of The Chauncey DeVega Show. He and Chauncey sit down at the virtual bar and salon and catch up on recent developments about the Mueller investigation, Trump's vileness, the horrible things lurking in the shadows, Trump and the Republican Party's treason, and of course professional wrestling.
Timothy Snyder makes a return appearance on The Chauncey DeVega Show. He is one of the world's foremost experts on fascism, authoritarianism, and the rise of Donald Trump. He is a professor of history at Yale University and the author of the New York Times bestselling book On Tyranny. This is Professor Snyder's third appearance on The Chauncey DeVega Show. On this week's podcast he reflects on the state of American democracy after one year under Trump, cautions us all to be mindful of how the rule of law is being eroded, and warns about how Trump and his allies may try to stop the 2018 Congressional elections.
In this week's episode, Chauncey connects the dots between Trump's
sociopathic behavior and the Parkland, Florida massacre. Chauncey
also highlights the dangers of the Culture of Cruelty and how
Trump's sociopathy is revealed in the broader war on so-called
"illegal immigrants" in America. And at the end of this week's
special fundraising month installment of the podcast, Chauncey
shares a wonderful story about one of our doggie friends who
decided to run for public office.
