In his latest column for the New York Times, opinion writer Farhad
Manjoo delves into his fears of a second term for President Donald
Trump. But even if Trump loses, he asks, have the president and the
Republican Party damaged American democracy beyond repair?
Trump has repeatedly lied throughout his presidency, but, Manjoo
writes, “It’s not the lies themselves that worry me most, but the
fact that millions of people might accept them. Can America endure
such mendacity? When you don’t have social trust, when you don’t
have a shared view of reality, do you even have a country?” We’ll
talk with Manjoo about his panic about America’s post-election
future.
