MODERATORDominique Arel


AUTHOR Timothy Snyder


The Founding Fathers tried to protect us from the threat they knew, the tyranny that overcame ancient democracy. Today, our political

order faces new threats, not unlike the totalitarianism of the twentieth century. We are no wiser than the Europeans who saw democracy

yield to fascism, Nazism, or communism. Our one advantage is that we might learn from their experience. Expanded from a post-Trump

electionn post that received over 17,000 shares on Facebook.
