democracy-ish

NYTimes Magazine and National Geographic writer, Robert Draper, pens an awesomely terrifying new book: Weapons of Mass Delusion: When the Republican Party Lost Its Mind. Danielle and Waj chat with Robert about what key moments were missed that signaled the end of the Republican Party as we know it and the rise of MAGAdom. Draper's hard hitting analysis leaves us wondering what the future of politics looks like if the delusion isn't stopped and soon. There is so much much to unpack on this episode of #democracyish

What happens when journalists are targeted by the state? What happens when the truth is silenced through murder and a coverup? Former AP Bureau Chief of Mexico and Central America, Katherine Corcoran, joins Danielle and Wajahat on #democracyish to share the harrowing story of a series of murders of journalists in Mexico--what we should all see as foreshadowing to what can happen in the US if Republicans have their way. In her new book: In the Mouth of the Wolf: A Murder, A Coverup and the True Cost of Silencing the Press, Katherine weaves a narrative that sends chills up our spines and sets off alarms in our heads. You won't want to miss this episode.

The New York Times did yet another feature story on how sad white racist Americans are about the changes happening in America. Just once it would be awesome if the mainstream media pulled up to a diner in another part of America to speak with Black, Indigenous, People of Color and asked how it feels to live in a nation that doesn't only hate you but actively tries to kill you. "Their America" as the NYT put it is vanishing because it never existed to begin with. It was all a well crafted lie. Danielle and Wajahat unpack this and so much more on this episode of #democracyish.
