- Rachel Maddow looks at the damage being done to the democratic system in the U.S. by Donald Trump and his supporters in the Republican Party and explains why authoritarians around the world are waging the same kind of pressure campaign to discredit democracy. Ultimately, recognizing the United States within that broader, global picture helps illuminate the real conflict and our roles within it.

Unfortunately I fear that many of us here in America won't understand the importance of this until it's far too late. That's probably how other authoritarians came to power in the past
They're "coming around" and seeing him for what he is/they are.
That is exactly what I’ve been discussing with friends and family. 🤦🏿♀️ They think that we are “good” checks and balances will save us. People think this is cute and “will pass”…..not so fast. Our freedom is NOT guaranteed. Our constitution is only as strong as our pinky promise to uphold it. If WE all no longer agree to abide by the constitution…bye bye law of the land. Hello chaos and disruption. Do people not care about the next generation?
@@dannmarceau9743I’m praying people realize how important this election is 🙏. I was a lifelong Republican before it became the party of Trump and then I became an independent. But I will be voting for Biden again this November. I can’t in good conscience and as a TRUE Christian support the unbridled hatred that Trump represents. He will permanently destroy our country if he wins and it won’t matter what party any of us are. Please people realize how important this election is .. god help us 🙏🙏
Obviously not!@@eastcoasttransplant429
well you have that wrong.
That IS how other authoritarians came to power in the past.
I am in PA, a battle ground state. We are motivated to keep Trump out!
Thank you! Be safe.
How? By mailing in fake ballots again?
Yeah, no we're not. Not even close. 🤡🤡
Democrats need to amplify the reality of living in autocratic regimes, how horrific it is to live without the freedoms they presently enjoy. They are living in a dream world.
@@liquidmagmaTROLL alert
When is someone in mainstream media going to use the word corruption to describe the GOP?
It's more than that, there is real treason afoot. Nothing short of the literal legal sense of the word.
Treason.
Broadcast media has become so beholden to view numbers that its largely castrated by the threat of accusations of bias, or it has simply yielded to the fascists and goes along with them. But I despair of the NYT and WaPo. Someone once wrote that if the GoP majority presented a bill declaring that the world is flat, the NYT would still mince around it with the headline: "Democrats and Republicans unable to agree on shape of the Earth" "Former astronaut weighs in and states that Earth looks like a flat disc when viewed from orbit."
It is not their job until proven by the legal system
But it is YOUR job as a citizen 😊
It's pretty much self-evident.
No king. No dictator. No tyrant. No Trump. Vote Blue.

I never understand how Trump can be allowed to compete, when he obviously won't abide by the rules of the game. He wouldn't be allowed into a poker game with that attitude, let alone the competition for the highest office.
I diisagree. He's been openly cheating at golf for decades. If he thinks he can get away with it on the fairways of Bedminster, what makes you think he would set himself to a higher standard anywhere else?
Says the guy who wants to change the rules.
@@jonathanmormerodbedminster is his property...he can win every game there if he wants... America is not his property and he shouldn't be allowed to cheat just because he thinks he can...
He’s the best. Democrats are gross.
A description of a "Domestic Terrorist" actually is what trump is...... Sadly.
Description of the antichrist as well.
Not even close.

Rachael Maddow is one of the bright lights of democracy, Listen she is sounding the clarion call, we who believe in rule of law and the democratic process must stand up now and protect our inalienable rights or we will surely lose them.
She was wrong on Russia Russian and trump tax but never cleared it up
@@suenash8483 no one can be right all the time, more often than not she is, or are you saying you or someone you know is the messiah come again?
We still have not addressed the 14.3 amendment. Being on the ballot is not a violation, but Trump is still not allowed to take and hold office. Any office. This should be a talking point and addressed by SCOTUS now! We also have members of Congress that are still in office illegally.
SCOTUS has already failed us.
Scotus already ruled on that
Thank God
The precedent that would set would create a constitutional crisis if he was taken off the ballot
I implore you and every one else who reads my comment to think past you're hatred and see the damage some of these ideas cause
Whatever is done to Trump can be done to a dem later
@@deadlytaOnly if said dem breaks the law..
Sweet summer child, do you still hold hope that the SC will not vote with money and radicalists? The majority will hold the party line, not decency.
When and if the Democrats take enough seats on the House and Senate and the mandate of the people demands a re-balancing expansion of the Supreme Court, you can bet the current SC will deem expanding the court to be unconstitutional.
The last time I checked, if you refuse to abide by the rules of the game, then you are not allowed to play!!!
Unless you're rich. Then you make your own rules.
You want to change the rules written in the Constitution. Go sit down.

America must lead by example and we must absolutely vote to preserve our democratic Republic.💙
Voting is not enough to save us. Our enemies are doing more than that. We too need to ask ourselves "What more can _I_ do?"
What is democratic about the electoral college?
What is needed is a system with proportinat representation, finally bringing back diplomacy to politics. The whole sportsball us against them mentality is not working for the people.
@@MelindaGreenEXACTLY. we need to be extremely proactive in reaching as many people as possible . Too many people don’t realize, or don’t care enough to understand that it’s not alarmist or Hyperbole in saying this is the most important election in our nations history
This election is not about Democrats versus Republicans. *It IS ABOUT DEMOCRACY VERSUS FASCISM/AUTHORITARIANISM.* Vote BLUE no matter what we do. 💙💙💙
Voting won't do it if one of the parties refuses to accept the result.
Without democracy, I don't want to live in this country. Please vote blue. 💯💙💙💙💙💙💙
If Americans vote blue they're gonna get more inflation, more illegal immigrants, and another war. That's all democrats are offering.
Democracy only chooses legislative representatives, and on executive chief. Then is full of permanent bureaucrats, weirdos with government power

"Democracy is mortal." Simple as that. This little sentence should be quoted again and again. We often take too much for granted living in a democratic Country. Thanks for reminding us.

Fox News marked its 87th consecutive quarter as the No. 1 cable news network in total viewers, took first place for the 10th consecutive quarter in total viewers and among Adults 25-54, and also continued to average more total day viewers than any other basic cable network.

Everyone in the western world: we've a duty put a stop to this fascism.... Our countries aren't perfect and we argue occasionally... But it's way better than the alternative.
When and where has fascism or communism ever gone well?

It’s difficult to comprehend how this has happened in a mature, first world democracy
Republicans have kept their constituents illiterate for this very purpose. Use them for everything they can get!! VOTE BLUE GET EM OUT!!! 💙💙💙💙💙
Not really. For those of us outside we’ve seen it coming for the last few decades
It didn't happen overnight. Erosion of the middle class, concentration of wealth and political power in the hands of oligarchs has been going on for more than 40 years. The Weimar Republic in slow motion.
The same way it happened to Germany. These fools who are so complacent do not realize the red flashing lights around us.

The USA should take complete responsibility for their demise. Putting people like the Kardashians and Trump, plus ego, on a pedestal only poisons your country’s foundations.
Well that's the point... they can't fix the problems because they obsessively complain only about "the other side" which they can't control, and refuse to even look at the wrongdoing of their "own side", which they would have more control over if they did. You know, like, I point at the thing broken in your hand, you point at the thing broken in my hand, so neither of us fix the things we have in our own hands. In fact, both sides obsess so much over the other, to even suggest their own side has its own major problems seems like a joke to them… but no, they find their problems only where they look
@Miroberta, it's not a crime for "capitalism" to thrive in the country. It's a personal decision of the general public to decide if they want to buy into whatever is being sold by a reality television personality along the way. 📺
@@anthonygriffin1958 How is that capitalism? It's vacuous appreciation of the lack of intelligence.
How or why did you put the Kardashians with Trump?
@tosmijocarlo1082, it's very easy to answer the question because both have backgrounds as "reality television personalities" that have resonated with people over the years. 📺
It's unfortunate that the ones that need to hear and understand this most, are unlikely to be here watching this. Just saying. Read again if ya have to.
Perfectly said, sadly..
That's the crux of the problem. But good journalism does matter, why else do the Putins wage lethal war against it?
I'm a republican, and there's many a shows you have said things that I disagreed with you because of partisan politics.

America has always put itself on a pedestal - I’m not sure you deserve high praises, when you pick a person like Trump as your president and some of you would STILL vote for him. I love America, but it is also very disappointing.
Yup. The US is insular ... they claim to be the world's greatest country but it's full of corrupt politicians at all levels, has questionable healthcare and education for the non-elites, and an abysmal minimum wage. Many other countries do better for their citizens even if they have smaller populations and economy.
Still the #1 economy though
That's the whole game right there
I just want to make it clear, Trump lost the popular vote in both elections.
He was put into office the first time because of the Electoral College and not as the results of a democratic vote by the citizens of the US.
Every country has its share of stupid people. Even if just 20% of Americans are aggressively ignorant and foolhardy, that is still nearly 70 million people.

Don't forget Joe will still be President after the election until January. Unlike last time. Haven't you got the ability for the President, or someone, to declare a state of emergency? If the Dems win the election they would certainly have the grounds & justification.
He will not break the gag order. He is a bully who has been confronted. He is a coward.
He certainly will, MAGA has him convinced it Will get him elected. He has no shame, he will endure any humiliation to take back the White House from Biden.
He continues to break the gag order cause he wants to be put in jail just so the Magamorons go nuts and go violently after the judge
He WILL. He has no self-control, can't edit himself and is compelled to lie.
I think 700,000 Californians and New Yorkers should take one for the team, and organise to have 100,000 of you move to Florida, Arizona, Georgia, Michigan, Nevada, Pennsylvania and Wisconsin. You can move back after November.

That this alone (not voicing his support for the peaceful transfer of power) doesn’t land him in jail directly is flabbergasting. Yes, the judicial system is broken.
Finally, someone stating what this actually is. Thanks Rachel.
I think the term you keep avoiding is "Fifth Column".
-
"...A fifth column is any group of people who undermine a larger group or nation from within, usually in favor of an enemy group or another nation. According to Harris Mylonas and Scott Radnitz, "fifth columns" are "domestic actors who work to undermine the national interest, in cooperation with external rivals of the state". The activities of a fifth column can be overt or clandestine. Forces gathered in secret can mobilize openly to assist an external attack. This term is also extended to organized actions by military personnel. Clandestine fifth column activities can involve acts of sabotage, disinformation, espionage, and/or terrorism executed within defense lines by secret sympathizers with an external force...." - wiki

In our case, members of a 5th Column have already infiltrated our government in order to cripple it and undermine it.
There was a time when i thought 5th column was too strong a description. However, your country is under attack from within. Those nutters, all armed to the teeth and with good Christian zeal.. you know... the ones we've all been laughing about? I have no idea what you'll do about it but... well... i wonder if it's time to call the North Korean immigration office? It might be safer there. Even that nut job in charge is'nt as bad as your man Trump will become. lol.

One Issue in 2024: Democracy.
The American dream is waking up
It's sad but we were never really a democracy as each branch is undermined by undemocratic strategies. See the electoral college, gerrymandering in the house and uneven representation in the Senate. The idea that we are a democracy, which is what I grew up believing, is merely a dream. Now our democratic republic is still way better then autocracy and fascist dictatorship like you speak of but we've never been solely democratic unfortunately.
We still fit the criteria that has to be met to be a democracy so I have no idea what you are talking about. A democracy is a democratic republic. Uneven representation in the senate? It’s always that way since they are voted in. More democratic votes mean more democratic policies and more republican more republican policies. It was never intended to be even. A democratic republic is listed as a democracy. The house doesn’t decide how states divide their states, the states are gerrymandering not the house in congress had no power over the states. Government cannot tell the states what to do that’s why states bring the lawsuits against their states. If a state violated the constitution the president sues the state.
@@robbiedemoss3224 we might fit the criteria but it has never been a true democracy and has been set up for minority rule forever. That's not how democracy works. The Senate should never have been created; life term appointed judges are a mistake as well. I don't care if you disagree lol.

As a Canadian it hurts so much to lose my southern cousins to a Dictatorship. I've visited your country so many times that I have lost count but every time I've felt welcome in your home. Please reconsider your choice and remain a free country ruled by the people and not a single dictator, we don't want to live next to another North Korea.
LET'S GO FRIENDS!💙💙💙
Yes Rachel you are absolutely spot on correct
Rachel Maddow and Jon Stewart for president. That's right! A balance of power, wisdom and strength and intelligence and gender! The time for meaningful change is now.
“Four more years”
“ Pause”
That really gets me fired up.
Spot on 💯
