In this week's History & Politics Chat, I answer the following questions: 1. What are executive orders? How are they addressed, and what do they mean for our political system and for American society? 2. Two questions together: How can Trump continuously go around the checks and balances in our system? How is it that the President is inciting violence against state governments and is allowed to get away with it? 3. What is the historical perspective for the issue of individual rights and loss of freedom versus public health and the common good? 4. To questions together: Will there be a run on the banks similar to 1929, and if so, what would it look like? What about the national debt and Republicans’ deficit spending when they’re in power, but become deficit hawks when Democrats are in power? 5. Why are people refusing to admit that COVID-19 is a real thing, why are people refusing to believe what is reality to anybody paying attention? 6. How do oligarchs retain support? 7. How do I get through to Fox New viewers? Want more History & Politics Chat?
