But, you know, when Trump said he had nothing to do with it, the legacy media went with that and said, oh, people like

you who are complaining about it are overreacting and tying him to something he says he's not connected with.

Why are we letting these people get away with that?

Yeah.

In terms of looking forward and rebuilding American democracy, the story of how you fight that is, maybe I'll rerun that piece I did on the pamphlet about how to recognize fascism and fight back against it.

So while I think you would have been hard-pressed to find an academic historian who didn't know who I was, the crossover to the popular audience had been, you know, the Washington Post, the Guardian, places like that, where again, I wrote a lot.

And I just got flooded with questions.
