Author Sarah Kendzior breaks down how Trump and Musk were able to conquer American democracy with the complicity of corporate media, dark money, Silicon Valley, and feckless Democrats.
I agree and talk about that in the interview! No idea what minute it’s at because I don’t watch interviews with myself, but look for the section on democracy and what it really means. Representative democracy can be stolen, but true democracy can only be surrendered — and I’m not surrendering.
thanks for continuing to try and educate more people on this, both of you. I myself have supported Sarah on her Substack for about a year and feel like I have read her books over and over again whenever they are referenced each time a section applies directly to a current event. for those of us that are past the point of needing to become aware and ready to take action, what should our priorities be short-term and long-term. educate more people to get them up to speed, or assume that will happen on its own and follow action-oriented groups/people/suggestions ? for example, if we have limited time, but are more successful at one thing versus something else, would you prefer we get 100 of our friends and family to read your stuff(both of you), or would you prefer we join a group that is helping affected victims of all these new crimes(refugees, unemployed, students, churches, etc.)? instead of arguing with people who disagree, I feel like it's more valuable to convince folks who are already educated to take action. protesting, calling congresspeople, convincing local electeds to support resistance efforts, etc.
I would love to hear Sarah elaborate on the broligarchs’ dystopian “end game,” as described in the writings of Curtis Yarvin and embraced by Thiel, Vance, Musk, and Vought. I don’t think that they will stop with simply gutting government programs that benefit (and are paid for) by ordinary taxpayers. They want to completely DESTROY government and democracy. The sooner people wake up to this, the better.

It looks like they hacked the tabulation machines, not the voting machines, and the algorithm they used leaves a distinctive pattern known in election integrity circles as a "Russian Tail." The ETA Team is trying to get full paper audits done to see what happened so they can help keep it from happening again.
seriously, and dark humor: when your stomach turns and you feel about to purge because of the corruption and erosion of meaning going on
1) a tablespoon of fresh clean baking soda (like pure arm and hammer, not kept in the fridge forever, new fresh) into a cup of water, drink it, simple miracle. Use sparkling mineral water, even better, stay away from flavors, skip the alka seltzer.
2) We stay grounded by acting with community together, an informed and powerful majority overcoming the imposed castration, the overwhelming dumbing down. We!
Sarah Kendzior warned us 8 (COUNT THEM) years ago! People should have listened!!!
Sarah Kendzior! 😲✊🏼💙
Brilliant, erudite and yes, she's been calling out the BS for years. Another awesome guest interview, Waj. Thankyou. 🙏🏼🙂
Yes! Towards the end...
Only recently became acquainted with Sarah's work. Her writing is absolutely fantastic. Poetic and insightful. Thank you for this interview.
her substack is required reading for me. History and politics and people.
Loved the bits is literary history and connecting a little. Hope we all find one another again soon!!
Guess what? I’m not conquered. Only the vanquished are conquered. It’s a state of mind.

Sarah beat me to it. What Sarah said :)
Then I’m with you sister!
Two of my absolute favorite shrewd and fearless observers of our political shit show, talking together! Thank you!

Is it too much to ask for a kinder less cruel government?
I will happily be buying your book Sarah. Thank you. Both of you. Much appreciated.

Sarah is the best.
Thanks, Sarah. It's incredibly refreshing to hear someone speak, and realize that everything she's saying is patently true.
Carry on! I'll be ordering your books.

The vandals in suits are among us....
All the sh*tb*gs who enabled Trampstain and his mob need to be held to account
Eye opening! I wonder when the tech people will try to shut information sites, such as substack down???
Heard that Musk is looking at Substack. Hoping that he doesn’t buy it and destroy it.
