Dear Lucid Friends, a packed schedule meant I forgot to mention that we are gathering for our regular Friday Q&A on August 19, 1-2pmET. You will receive a link to register (it’s free) that morning for the Zoom meeting. Also, I will be on MSNBC around 6:20pmET today, talking with host Ari Melber about Liz Cheney’s loss and the state of the Republican Party. Breaking news could change this but right now that’s the plan!
Ruth…Could you address the current situation with Trump’s reaction to document retrieval in terms of GOP increasing their violence rhetoric. Everyday they are directing violence different places, the FBI, the police, the IRS…there is a lot of chatter on websites…angry followers and GOP are playing into this. I heard Trump’s fundraising is up to $1 million/day now rather than $200-300,000/day he was making before. What should we expect as we get closer to midterms and during the election? What should we expect if GOP gains control? What kind of violence do you think will happen here?
Definitely will watch tonight! Liz
Ruth, if you have time, could you please explain the difference between a democracy and a republic. Thank you
