It would be har d to overstate Donald Trump’s effect on American democracy. That s aid, the tendency is to see Trump as the principal source of our divisio ns and the fragile state of our democracy. But for all his “contri butions” in this regard, Trump is really more the extreme product and expression of prior trends and events. It’s important that we understand these older roots, lest we think that having removed him from office, we have restored the health and well-being of American democrac y. The talk will explore these "older roots."
