Show Notes:
Description: What can a Broadway musical, a fascist dictator, and a former U.S. president teach us about the fragility of democracy?
In this gripping episode of Carrie On!, host Carrie Murray draws stunning parallels between Lin-Manuel Miranda’s Hamilton, Hitler’s rise to power, and Trump’s America today. Through history, humor, and heart, Carrie explores what happens when nations stop questioning power — and how art, storytelling, and truth-telling can keep democracy alive.
Join Carrie as she retraces her grandfather’s WWII footsteps across Europe, from Normandy to London, and reflects on the lessons still echoing 80 years later. This episode blends musical theater, history, and politics into one powerful cautionary tale: democracy doesn’t disappear overnight — it erodes one applause line at a time.
In this episode:
Key Takeaway: History doesn’t repeat itself, but it rhymes — and right now, the melody sounds familiar.
