In part 3 of my interview with Ian Welsh (Ian blogs at ianwelsh.net), I asked whether a landslide loss might make the difference in getting Trump to concede. Ian talks about the potential legitimacy problem in that case before going into a discussion of what people might do to reduce their own risk (personal, political, economic…) in this uncertain moment and related considerations. We also discussed the danger represented by the model Trump has offered those seeking power, the growing problem of inequality, and the sorts of challenges that loom ahead regardless of who wins the election.
