Will democracy survive another Trump presidency? How do we navigate the post-truth era?

In this episode, Liz Wahl speaks with Vlad Vexler, a Political Philosopher whose YouTube commentaries on Russian politics and Western democracy have garnered over 30 million views. Born in Soviet Moscow and emigrating to the West at age 9, Vlad brings a unique perspective shaped by his upbringing and a debilitating neurological condition he has lived with since his time as a research student at Oxford.

They explore America's drift toward authoritarianism, the radicalization of young men by the populist right, Russian media's response to Trump, and the rise of oligarchy in the United States.
