Description
Interview with Jason Stanley, professor of philosophy and chair of American Studies at the Munk School of Global Affairs, University of Toronto, conducted by Scott Harris.
Professor Stanley explains why he left the U.S. after Donald Trump's election, and examines the Trump regime’s seven-month history of imposing authoritarian rule, including the recent executive order mandating an expansive review of the Smithsonian Institution’s museum exhibitions, materials and operations to ensure they align with President Donald Trump’s view of history.
Stanley is a professor of philosophy and also author of "How Fascism Works: The Politics of Us and Them." His latest book is "Erasing History: How Fascists Rewrite the Past to Control the Future."
