Trump’s Tone-Deaf Tour + A Look Back At My Conversation With Marcus Flowers
About this episode
The episode revisits a conversation with Marcus Flowers about Donald Trump's authoritarian tendencies and their implications for democracy.
Today on Mea Culpa, we’re revisiting a conversation from August with Army veteran, former congressional candidate, and democracy advocate Marcus Flowers. Together, we examined Donald Trump’s accelerating authoritarian instincts, from secret meetings with Vladimir Putin and sidelining U.S. allies to weaponizing the Department of Justice against critics. Grounded in Flowers’ military and national security experience, this conversation remains strikingly relevant as we break down how culture wars, fear, and political spectacle are used to consolidate power, erode democratic norms, and normalize retaliation against dissent.
