Ken Burns on Trump 'Authoritarianism': We will repair and restore but 'can't be complacent' - The Best People - Nicolle

[Rhiannon12866]

Legendary award-winning filmmaker Ken Burns joins Nicolle Wallace for a special episode of "The Best People" talking about the venality and virtue of America at 250.

As our nation's 250th anniversary approaches, he joins Nicolle at the famed 92nd Street Y for an intimate conversation about the American experiment — how its failures and its successes inform each other and nudge the country forward.

Ken understands that political turmoil is a hallmark of our democracy; fundamentally, we’ve been here before. He shares why he believes Trump's "authoritarianism" will be defeated and why we’re going to make it, by looking at history. It's a conversation you don't want to miss.

1. I'm not certain I agree that

“Trump's "authoritarianism" will be defeated…” I do know this though-

The oligarchies that own our government, natural resources , environment, air, water, and control the economic system that perpetuates the decline of intelligence that would challenge and vociferously defeat this nightmare are well-established. That predatory system whose speech in all quarters of American society has convinced the rest of us we must be subservient to trolls like dtrump for our own good. Pathetic allegiance to such villains holding such immense power this country has never seen the likes of, Mr. Burns.
