The Frank Figliuzzi Show
Donald Trump gets most of the attention. But what if Trump himself isn't the biggest threat? Princeton professor and bestselling author Eddie Glaude Jr. argues that there's an entire intellectual and political structure behind MAGA—and that Trump is essentially the carnival barker for a much larger project: gutting institutions, dismantling parts of the federal government and giving America's “darker angels” permission to come out into the open. And yes, at one point Glaude describes Trump's rallies as a kind of religious experience. Well... at least before they became, in his words, “Fat Elvis.” So how did America get here? Why do our racial and political divisions keep repeating themselves? And if the institutions aren't coming to save democracy, who will? Frank Figliuzzi sits down with Eddie Glaude Jr. to talk about MAGA, race, religion, corruption, America's unresolved history—and why ordinary Americans may ultimately have to save democracy themselves.
