Well, that was a drubbing wasn’t it? Last week’s bad election news – the voter suppression, the apathy, the disenchantment with Democratic messaging and a disconnect with actual achievements – has another and truly awful dimension. What will Congress be like now that some dangerously fringe right-wing elements will be going to the Hill? Claire Connor, author of Wrapped in the Flag: A Personal History of America's Radical Right joins us today to give her perspective on the radical right’s wins in statehouses and Congress. Later in the show we’ll have some upbeat news and how you can support girls by supporting the Sheroes campaign to highlight female STEAM achievers and encourage girls in grades 3-8 to pursue careers in fields where women are under-represented.
