On this episode of The Enemies List, Rick is joined by Steven Livitsky and Daniel Ziblatt. Both are authors and professors at Harvard University. Together they discuss why the upcoming election rivals the importance of the 2020 election in maintaining our democracy, why the Republican Party has become so rigid and unmoving in their position and talking points, and how our democracy has stopped updating.
Steven and Daniel's book, Tyranny of the Minority: Why American Democracy Reached the Breaking Point, is available now.
