Jon Meacham: ‘Democracy is a manifestation of all of us’ As Donald Trump prepares to take office again, award-winning historian and presidential biographer Jon Meacham discusses what history shows us about the resilience of democracy against the rising tides of authoritarianism. “Because [democracy] is human,” Meacham says, “it’s going to be up and down and back and forth.” Meacham also encourages Americans to see each other in a more empathetic lens, saying “democracy is a manifestation of all of us.”

Democracy is hard work, says historian Jon Meacham, and often “counter cultural to how human beings are arranged.” Politicians “act on incentive,” so if you like something, let them know, because “people who want them to do the wrong thing are applying that pressure.” #Velshi

Oligarchy (noun): A government of and by a few at the top, who exercise power for their own benefit. Their power and wealth increase as they make laws that favor themselves, manipulate financial markets, and create monopolies that put more wealth into their pockets.

Over on the blue bird app, they are so embarrassed that Trump cancelled the inauguration and screwed them out of money, that they are making up reasons like assasination attempts etc.

Makes me sad re-reading this amazing letter from ex-Watergate Special Prosecutor Archibald Cox sent to high school seniors in 1994 after they asked him “What should Americans learn from Watergate?” 20 years later in ‘94.

His answer is remarkable—unfortunately things didn’t work out so well in 2024.

#verizon service sucks!! It’s been 2 weeks in downtown Wilmington NC and the service keeps dropping. Got a new box and extender and still sucks. Bluesky folks, got any suggestions? #verizonsucks #nointernet #terribleconnectivity

This is it right here. And Kamala won every state where college graduates make up 40 percent or more of the population. Trump won every state where college graduation is below 40 percent.

Let’s not both-sides this one. Trump refused to concede, never admitted he lost, Senators & Reps refused to certify, state AGs filed lawsuits, they stormed the Capitol, filed 60 lawsuits & had fake electors.

The Left has a handful of social media influencers with theories.

Dystopian is exactly what we’re entering into. Matt Gaetz Attorney General???? Weekend TV Host, Sec of Defense??!!! GTFOH!! 🤬

I totally agree. She’s such a Karen.
