Description

With the re-election of Donald Trump, Americans now find themselves in an unusual position–what kind of country have we become? Are we still living in some sort of democracy, or is the dominance of the billionaire class indicative of an oligarchy? Or, worse, are we living now under fascism? This lecture asks the question and attempts some coherent answers based on current events, history, and wishful thinking.
