How to Defeat The GOP After Trump

Former GOP consultant Stuart Stevens joins me to talk about the "long term" battle the majority must fight to defeat the GOP, which will continue as an authoritarian movement even after Trump.

(Jason Andrew for The New York Times)

One would hope that Donald Trump losing the 2024 election would be the death blow to Trumpism and the MAGA domination of the GOP. However, even if Trump loses - and he must lose - it should be clear to anyone paying attention that he has not only transformed the GOP but revealed its true, extremist colors and racist spirit.

Liking Hitler is no longer a deal-breaker for modern conservatives.

Nice.

Stuart Stevens, a former GOP consultant who is now with The Lincoln Project, believes the GOP and the current conservative movement will remain an active and dire threat to democracy. He agrees this is a long-term fight lasting several years, perhaps decades, to protect our country and flawed democracy. However, he also believes the majority should be hopeful and walk and talk with a confident swagger.

In this Chai Talk, he talks to me about how his party “revealed” itself through Trump and how they’re committed to minoritarian rule by any violent means necessary. He also shares how we, the majority, can defeat this right-wing movement that is committed to fascism.

Grab a chai and give us a listen!
