Description

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.

American Democracy is not promised to us and, with all the forces working against it, saving it will take a level of work most people aren’t ready for. The Politics Girl Podcast is here to give people a reason to care and a reason to fight. Our goal is to inspire. To instill in people a true understanding of what this country COULD be, if the right people were fighting for it, and what it WILL be if they don’t. It’s a political podcast yes, but more than that, it’s a podcast about America’s potential, where one passionate, and slightly mouthy, immigrant attempts to motivate the country to become what it promised to be but, so far, has yet to become. You’ll leave more knowledgeable, more engaged, and more sure that you, personally, can make a difference to the future of American democracy. Everyone’s got a little time for that right? Subscribe for new episodes every Tuesday. We’re in a fight for our country. We sure as hell better know what we’re fighting for. xo
