Democracy Awakening with Heather Cox Richardson

Host Reed Galen is joined by Author, Historian, and Boston College History Professor, Heather Cox Richardson. They discuss the road the Republican party took to reach its current status, why Donald Trump (and those in his image) offer a dangerous/autocratic future, and why democracy (while imperfect) is the best path to achieve the America we want.
