Rachel Maddow on Authoritarians and Thieves
Historians have repeatedly listed Donald Trump among the nation’s worst Presidents. And so, Rachel Maddow writes, “it says something about our respect for expertise that we decided to give the man another go.” It also says something about our national tolerance for crooks and thieves. In this week’s issue, Maddow joins a collection of writers looking outward and inward to consider what Trump’s reëlection reveals about America. Read Jia Tolentino on the gender war, George Saunders on understanding systemic rot, Jane Mayer on the coming decades for the Supreme Court, Kelefa Sanneh on white-grievance politics, Timothy Snyder on how fascism takes hold, and much more.
