The Lincoln Project Podcast | Guest: Stuart Stevens

Host Reed Galen is joined by Lincoln Project Senior Advisor Stuart Stevens to discuss the series of historical events that led the Republican party to being the autocratic party that it is today, the GOP’s current state of dysfunction (especially as exemplified by the recent Speaker race), and how Donald Trump instilled an ethos of victimhood in the modern-day Republican. Plus, why young people will save our nation. If you’d like to hear more from Stuart Stevens, be sure to pick up his new book, The Conspiracy to End America: Five Ways My Old Party is Driving Our Democracy to Autocracy. For more from Reed Galen, be sure to subscribe to “The Home Front.”

The Lincoln Project is a leading pro-democracy organization in the United States — dedicated to the preservation, protection, and defense of democracy. Our fight against Trumpism is only beginning. We must combat these forces everywhere and at all times — our democracy depends on it.

[tgardenchicken]

I don't understand how a 'constitutional' lawyer can be so 'religious' in governing. But I guess the Grifters Only Party can't see the irony..

I voted republican in 2000 , long story short with Romney as my state governor my husband and I lost our home 🏡 of 10 yrs because Romney cut MassHealth. We voted for Bush Jr, my husband had a major CVA from malpractice left him crippled and speechless 😶 our daughter was only 4 so
No Masshealth and no frivolous lawsuits of medical malpractice . I have not voted Republican since.
Being Christian conservatives we thought we were doing the right thing, for the people. My older sister advised me unless we make a 3 figure income we shouldn’t vote Republican. She was right.
Did I mention half my family grew up in Astoria Queens NYC we already knew about Trumps reputation first hand. Needless to say, I warned as many as I could about Trump, who wouldn’t pay most of his contractors, who all went bell😢up suing Trump. And my daughter in law worked at Atlantic City at the casino next to Trumps. Everyone in NY had the 411 on Trump as he made way through the South and West as a modern day Carpet Bagger sucking everyone in .

I hope the book can be translated into several languages and distribute across Europe, Central and South America, etcetc

Clear and level headed individuals recognizing the direct threat to their future as independent people exercising liberty in their own lives must not retreat. When rulers set their targets on power, only one remains standing. And those standing can point to the people, they are under the boot.

[andrewpereira]

Thanks for the ray of hope, Stuart. If I wasn't old, I'd really want to see time accelerated to increase the number of young voters . . . i.e. an impatience for sanity.

[kcuzz]

Personally, I believe the 140+ Republican Congressmen/women who voted again national certifying the 2020 Election should all get the boot out of our House, Jack Smith should investigate all of them, brown no charges, try them, and if found guilty throw them in jail.
