Discussion on Democracy and Authoritarianism

You guys are the place where democracy is on life support.

It makes me so sad to say that because-

You see us as on life support?

I certainly do, yeah.

Tell me why.

You mean why I think you're still alive or why I think you're so in jeopardy?

So in jeopardy.

Oh, like to me that is self-evident.

I mean, you reelected Donald Trump and frankly

we are seeing more Americans

than we should be seeing capitulating to Donald Trump.

We're seeing CEOs capitulating to Donald Trump.

We are seeing university presidents capitulate to Donald Trump.

We are seeing law firms capitulate to Donald Trump.

Now, there are some people who are being really brave.

Like if anyone from Minneapolis is listening to us, I would

say visit Canada, say you're from Minneapolis.

You will not have to pay for a single beer you drink.

Hmm.

Our whole country salutes you. But too many

Americans are capitulating in the face

of an auth- an increasingly authoritarian regime.
