One thing that Republicans have learned long ago is that when they have power to wield it ruthlessly to push through their agenda. They don’t care what anyone says or thinks to achieve their goals. The Democrats haven’t been so resolute. Norms and traditions are respected and taking the high road is the goal. That era must end. When the Trump disaster finally comes to its inevitable conclusion we will have to rebuild our government and our economy. How do we do that when both parties support many of the things that are obstacles to reform? What are the priorities? Wildly popular independent journalist Brian Tyler Cohen has a new book coming out that lays out how Democrats can take power and use it after Trump: ‘The Day After: How to wield power in a post-Trump world.’ It’s a playbook for populist reforms that millions of Americans are demanding. When a new Harris poll says that 95% of Americans feel we are in an affordability crisis, that time for aggressive change is upon us. Fred and Brian talk about his ideas, the path ahead, and more.
