Recommendation: Jen Rubin’s Green Room Interview with Heather Cox Richardson

Jen and Heather cover a variety of topics from the past to now with variable information. These ladies know the stakes are high for 2024, and they explain how we got here and how to get out.

From the wonderful Jen Rubin’s Green Room podcast intoduction:

“Jen welcomes historian and author Heather Cox Richardson to explore the historical continuum of the Right’s war on freedom and equality from before the Civil War through the rise of MAGA. They discuss how the Southern oligarchy of the Bleeding Kansas era used race to push the average citizen to vote against their interests, and lay out how that authoritarian legacy continues to drive limitations on voting rights, sustain racism and misogyny, and undergird our politics with violence. Will we be able to overcome the forces still conspiring against our rights to continue perfecting our democracy?”
