Don Siegelman, Former Governor of Alabama on Racism & Police Violence
Trump is trying to play out Richard Nixon’s “law and order“ theme from the 1968 election. “Law and order“ were Nixon’s code words for white supremacy, but nobody in the mainstream media identified that or called it out at the time; that commentary was largely limited to the black press. America today is a very different place, a multiracial and far more pluralistic society. Trump thinks he can pull off Nixon’s white supremacist routine and get himself reelected. He is wrong. The big question is what happens when Trump’s “law and order“ strategy fails. Will this lead to the emergence of a fully fascist government being led by Trump, Pence and Barr from the White House? Or will it lead to continued uprisings around the country that eventually lead to positive changes in policing and governance?
For the Book Club Thom reads from his book "The Hidden History of the Supreme Court and the Betrayal of America" and also "The Polar Bear Expedition: The Heroes of America's Forgotten Invasion of Russia, 1918-1919" by James Carl Nelson.
