Prominent Journalist, Activist, Attorney, Social Critic, Legal Theorist, Public Intellectual, and Author Elie Mystal in Conversation with Michael Steele About the 2024 Election, Predictions About the direction of the Fascist Trump Regime, the Reactionary Myopia of the Media, the Hegemony of the Billionaire Class and the Utter Failure of the Department of Justice and Its Biden Appointed Director Merrick Garland to Hold Donald Trump Legally and Constitutionally Accountable and Liable For His Many Crimes

AMERICA IS A FASCIST STATE

Fascism is a far-right, authoritarian, and ultranationalist political ideology and movement, characterized by a dictatorial leader, centralized autocracy, militarism, forcible suppression of opposition, belief in a natural social hierarchy, subordination of individual interests for the perceived good of the nation or race, and strong regimentation of society and the economy. 

Opposed to anarchism, democracy, pluralism, egalitarianism, liberalism, socialism, and Marxism, fascism is at the far right wing of the traditional left–right spectrum.

AMERICA IS A ROGUE STATE

A nation or state regarded as breaking international law and posing a threat to the security of other nations.

The Michael Steele Podcast

Michael Steele speaks with Elie Mystal roughly one week after the re-election of Donald Trump. They discuss what they anticipate from the next Trump term, what makes 2024 different from 2016, how Black men did, in fact, show up for Kamala Harris (and white women didn't) and how Merrick Garland failed to bring Trump to trial.
