- Trump and Vance are pioneering a form of politics where American power means nothing, everything is bad, and politicians focus on tearing people down-and getting other Americans to do the same. Plus, the challenge of defining freedom, why conservative Jews are giving Trump a pass on his antisemitism, and a good and insightful poll on the presidential race. Timothy Snyder joins Tim Miller.

I want to expand on Professor Synder's answer about the mood in Ukraine. I'm an American surrounded by Ukrainians I talk to every single day, some serving, some in the homefront. What he said about every single person grieving and having lost people is the truth. One of my best friends, has buried several friends, from just one friend group. They have family members serving, or if they're overseas, they have family in harm's way. Many of them are IDPs and already had to evacuate other regions of Ukraine years ago when this war began--in 2014. Every single one of them carries the knowledge that tomorrow is not for granted. The sacrifices these people are making every single day are incalculable. I recommend the Bulwark get some Ukrainians on to talk about this conflict from their own perspective. Their testimony about the war is powerful and moving. They're fighting for their national identity and right to exist.
I cannot express in words how much I admire the Ukrainian people. Their bravery is unmatched. My heart goes out to them. We are doing the bare minimum by supporting their effort, and it's the very least we can do. They are fighting for us, for the free world, and for their country which they love so much. Please support them!
@@proxylassWell said. And the biggest coward, Trump, wants to do what Putin wants! Ugh… (The biggest bone spur was his head!)
@@proxylassthe Ukrainian people should have never had to endure this. Trump started screwing them years ago upholding needed approved funds and support to be ready. Putin invaded, Trump held the door open. Keep going and doing. We must!

Thank you! Yes! It’s vitally important for the World AND the USA population to UNDERSTAND how important this is!!!!
Trump did separate parents from their children and put them in cages. Vote 💯💙💙💙💙💙
@@nanettemurray1000 yep yes he did and the Biden administration still has not been able to reunite them all although they've done nothing but try for 3 and 1/2 years. Can you imagine having that job? My eyes would be swollen shut from crying, I swear. And cursing Trump every moment
Yes, we saw it with our own eyes!!!
Who put the cages in place? Wasn't it Obama?
"On Tyranny" is an essential read, and when we get through this, out to be a mandatory text for high school history classes.
Trump did promise round-up camps. There's no telling who will get scooped up and put in them.
I’m sure Germans never imagined gas chambers either.
Prisoners of war German soldiers were shown film of the concentration camps and many were, obviously, horrified at what their country had done. I doubt many civilians realized what was happening. And I expect almost no one anticipated that horror.
I was born during WWII. During the years after the war we saw so much about the war and how Hitler rose to power. I'm afraid many younger people do not know that history.
Especially Jewish Germans. I recently saw a new version of the musical “Cabaret” called “Cabaret at the Kit Kat Club” that reminded me of how much in denial many Germans were about what was beginning to happen all around them in 1933. One of the focuses of the play was on a particular German Jewish man in love with a Non Jewish woman who rejects him in the end although she loves him. She is afraid to be with him. He remains clueless about the rising danger to himself because “I am German.” This is a good time for people to read the book the play is loosely based on. Goodby to Berlin, by Christopher Isherwood.
Hitler was a nobody who a massed a decent following…….the ppl in power on the right despised Hitler as he was racist, ignorant, & a criminal but they also thought he was weak so they gave him power & thought they could control him…..just as republicans did with Trump……they both were wrong.
Yeah I can’t picture Trump caring.
@@louisefrazier1302 By 1939 half of German Jews had already left the country even tho they were assimilated Germans.
Trump must never be allowed in the Oval Office again. Vote 💯💙💙💙💙
@@nanettemurray1000 never! We are not going back
He shouldn't be allowed out of a cell block.
Amen
NEVER, NEVER EVER!
I don’t believe Putin will EVER admit he’s losing any more than Trump will admit he lost in 2020!
I think you're right, which is why we need to be prepared for a defeat in Ukraine to coincide with a collapse of Russia's current government.
But he might know it even if he doesn’t admit it?
He won't admit it but if he is given an off ramp that permits him to claim a win to his domestic audience, he might take it
I've constantly wondered why all the most powerful countries aren't arming Ukraine to the point that Putin has to concede.
When he described the loss & grief…I’m an addiction counselor & in recovery. I work with opiate addicts & this sounds like a wartime version of what I do but w/ bullets & bombs & I, too, wonder why everyone isn’t arming Ukraine to the teeth. It’s heartbreaking & so confusing.
Because many countries rely on Russian natural gas and they don't want to piss Putin off so much that they aren't able to repair those supply lines eventually
There's a really cynical argument that im not making, but i imagine others might. Russia's collapse came at the end of a drawn our war, soviet union collapse came at the end of a drawn out war. Maybe the us and parts of eu want attrition.
Because of the threat to the west of nuclear attack
@@sandracaldwell1603 Russia would never attack us. They know we out match them.
I have a lot of respect for Professor Snyder. He knows this territory inside and out. Thanks for having him on the podcast.
I know, so eloquent. I could listen to him all day.
Timothy Synder is my touchstone to truth and sensibility in this time of insanity.
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂 have you had a cognitive test lately 🤔
Tim (Miller), I love your work, but how much Hitler-like misconduct is Trump allowed before it is acceptable to point it out? How much demonizing of ethnic minorities, how much racism, how much violence in the streets, how much cult like behavior, how many concentration camps? Should we be worried that Ivana said her Husband had a copy of Hitler’s speeches on his nightstand? Should we be concerned when, like Hitler, Trump refers to political enemies as vermin, or by his Hitler-like promise of a return to a mythic perfect past?
It is worth remembering that gas chambers were not Hitler‘s first “solution”: like Trump, he had planned to place undesirables in concentration camps, and then ship them overseas: to Madagascar, in fact. When that didn’t work out logistically, he developed a different “final solution.” What would happen to Trump’s plan if he couldn’t easily export his millions of immigrants?
After the war, many of Hitler’s followers said they had failed to take his more extreme threats literally - until it was too late. Must Trump engage in actual genocide before it is fair to say he’s gone too far?
🗽⚖️🇺🇸
Excellent food for thought.
👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
Me too
Let Al Pacino tell Trumpers what he thinks
It's purely a tactical question. Do the forces of good stand break Godwin's Law as a means of attaining victory? If we're damn sure we can, let's go for it. If not, we'd better not burn that bridge.
I gave my laptop whiplash, I clicked so fast when I saw Prof Snyder! What an excellent choice, thanks.
You and me both. Love Snyder, you always learn something.
Me too!
On Tyranny was so prescient so many years ago. So smart and wise.
I did too.
Trump is a firing squad type; Trump, in his affect, reminds me of Benito Mussolini.
Mussolini was intelligent and well read. Trump may have some of his mannerisms, but trump lacks his other qualities.
I am eternally grateful that trump is as stupid as he is. The next would be dictator will probably be slicker and smarter.
Me too! I’ve been saying that for 9 years
But remember he's nowhere near as smart as any of those dictators. Which unfortunately makes him both less and more dangerous
@@Frenchblue8 I'm bewildered at the number of unforced errors his inner circle makes. Like with Guiliani butt dialing people.
@@NatalieD1255same. 💥
America's complacency of freedom is why Trump and MAGA are so influential.
I don't think we are truly complacent. We are confused by consumption-centered lifestyles, by a plethora of meaningless choices, by wealth as a proxy for freedom.
Living freely is about what we think and what we do with our time and health.
MAGA actually runs the other way from the appearance of freedom in prosperity, toward resentment, jealousy, and greed.
Yes! Perfectly said.
Exactly. I don’t understand it.
@@timgerk3262as an outsider I can observe that you are complacent. You think that your freedom is inviolate. The checks and balances of a liberal democracy have been eroded. Those basic principles, separation of church and state, the 3 independent pillars of govt, ( courts, administration and executive) have been corrupted, the education of voters had been diminished, the ' independent' media is just corporate brainwashing. Your focus on capitalism has meant money takes over and tells you what to do. You were so fearful of big government that you got taken over by big corporates. You let insurance companies tell you what medical care you can have because it isn't govt telling you what to do. At least you still get to vote , but they are taking that too making it harder, lying about it being rigged. That 30% of your population still think that the 2020 election was rigged is really really concerning.
I agree. Because the US hasn't held him accountable (in part, thanks to Merrick Garland). As we don't crack down on American terrorism except for 1/6. A little too late (hopefully not). Just as women who saw the Gilead coming as well as the overturning of Roe. We were considered hysterical. Welp….
It’s not hard to imagine Trump having a holocaust. Or even JD Vance.
@@LaSmoocherina hard to imagine Steven Miller WITHOUT it!

plus -- rounding up immigrants to send many back to places where their lives are legitimately in danger. Not the same, but think about it from their perspective!
He wants to deport over 10 million people. How many deaths would that involve. It is not a stretch to compare Trump with Hitler. He wants to imprison anyone who disagree with him.
When Timothy Snyder talks and writes EVERYONE should pay attention.
So true
Agreed!
Yet Tim interrupts him to babble about catfood
Interesting choice of image. The Matterhorn. Timothy Snyder is a brilliant mind for sure.
He has many lectures on You Tube.

i have equated Donald Trump with Fascism for a long time. His rhetoric has defined who and what he is. If it quacks and walks like a Fascist, then he is a Fascist.

I’m a center leftish Jewish person (I relate to Tim’s “liberal libertarian” stance) and antisemitism is absolutely a major issue on both sides but in slightly different ways.
On the right, it’s conspiracy theories and great replacement. Which is beyond harmful and is what historically led to hate crimes against Jews. on the left, it’s “anti-Israel” sentiment, which isn’t inherently antisemitism but can easily become it. I also think it’s important to recognize that there’s a spectrum of stances represented say by those doing the college campuses. There are those just straight up calling for death to Israel, which as a majority Jewish state, is the same as calling for the death of Jews. That’s antisemitism. There are those that think Israel is a colonizer state and think only a Palestinian state should be on that land, despite evidence that both Israelis/jews and Palestinians have historical ties to the land. I don’t necessarily think that’s antisemitism, but I think they are wrong. There’s also those who just want a two state solution (like most people) and the end of Israeli settlements, both of which I agree with. That’s not antisemitism. Then there are those that think we need to stop sending weapons to Israel, because they are obviously inflicting cruel and unnecessary punishment towards civilians. I agree we should condition aid, bc we condition aid for everyone else.
If you’ve made it this far, my conclusion is antisemitism isn’t isolated to one party. Trump is peddling in antisemitism, and has been for years. His character goes against everything Judaism teaches you about how to behave and treat others.
Thank you. ✡️
I appreciate your comment. I will read it again to digest it. I'm really fairly clueless on this subject, but I'm learning.
Same! It is possible to say Israel has a right to exist but is descending into fascism. My spouses family is Jewish from NYC & 100% liberal democrats demanding Bibi go the f to jail for his war crimes. It is possible to criticize the leadership of Israel for the mass murder of Palestinians, not be antisemitic for having said it & still be a faithful Jew.
The problem is that antisemitism on the right is a lunatic fringe movement. Antisemitism on the left is becoming the majority position of the Democratic Party.
BTW on October 7 Trump observed the day by spending an hour at the grave of the Lubavitcher Rebbe.
@@HannahJo32Well put, thanks. MOST Israelis f-ing HATE Netanyahu, who has no interest in finding the hostages, because that would mean war is over and his corruption trial resumes.
But in America, we’re called self-hating Jews for opposing this fascist who’s committing massacres of Palestinians who have only been under the thumb of Hamas. It’s very distorted, like the rest of our politics.
"Conspicuous impotence". Brilliant 👏.
I see what you're doing. Reference to the great non-Marxist critic of Capitalism!
As a gay man, I see Trump as having “daddy issues,” and Putin is his daddy.
You don't have to be Gay 🎉 to know that Trump has so many issues that are all dangerous.
Tim Snyder is the man! Thanks for having him on.
I agree. The guy is one of the very few clear thinking people left.
Yes he is!!!! The expert on fascism!!!
@@9000ckThere are plenty of clear thinkers. But you have to be where they are.
Shrump may not be speaking about ovens, but he speaking publicly about deportation CAMPS.
Yes, he has talked about camps which could lead to mass execution sadly. That's how it started in Germany. Camps.
I got into an argument with my dad today because he’s terribly worried about Harris using the Bayh-Dole Act to exert some price controls over drugs whose research & development is partially funded by taxpayers-but he seems utterly unconcerned about trump wanting to put people in camps, or trump wanting to go after media that’s critical of him, or trump’s fundamental misunderstanding of tariffs.
It’s just bonkers.
@@robynnordstrom7799 Wild times and good luck.
Trump and the right wingers have openly talked about forcefully removing homeless people from the cities and placing them in a camp where they will be given productive jobs... In other words forced labor camps for "undesirable" Americans.
Stand your ground you are soooo right and you need to get him to see Trump is awful. @@robynnordstrom7799

And his party faithful. I am gobsmacked at the way the GOP has rolled over for Trump. It is sickening.
Yep. That was a bad streak of cowardice by the legal system.
Tim, you now have a cat.
We have one who devised a plan to get himself adopted. He showed up in our yard, runs over to our daughter (who was 5 at the time) and starts rubbing up on her, being sweet to her. She demands we feed him.
He then stays in the yard and we feed him daily. Every time we go outside, he runs over to the daughter to greet her and rub up on her.
Then he comes up to the back door one day. She opens it, cat enters, finds her bed, plops down on it. She begs us to keep the cat. Cat mission accomplished.
… and we have another who ran the same playbook successfully, only she used me as the patsy. She’s currently sitting on my lap.
It’s the cat distribution system at work. Sometimes the universe just decides you’ll have a cat.
Cats have fascist tendencies.

Thanks Mr. Snyder. I'm so tired of people labeling folks as left or right. IMHO - It causes us to miss the real point.
I’m American first, party is down the line a bit.
I’m an American without a party. I vote for whoever appears to be the lesser evil.
Tim Snyder is someone I would vote for because I actually agreed with him
I vote Democrat because the Republican party is not a safe space for me and mine.
What a great get, Tim! I'd listen to Professor Snyder talk all day long, I learn so much.
Professor Snyder is a personal hero. Been taking his free online Yale course on Ukrainian history because it's what pootin is trying to erase.
Thanks for sharing information that Professor Synder teaches a free course on Ukraine. 😊

If you are feeding a cat, then, congratulations, you now have a cat.
How did I have to scroll down this far to find this. Adopt the cat Tim! If you don’t bring it indoors, you’re going to be explaining to your family why it got eaten by a fox. (Alligator?)
Trump is SO prejudiced..
against Jews, blacks, Haitians, Puerto Ricans, women, and on and on...
Not prejudice, RACIST.. He has a pure hate of different people
…anybody smarter than him.
Ha! But if you're a rich bastard from any one of those groups, Trump will think "you're one of the good ones"....
And why I simply cannot understand his high numbers amongst Latinos. Baffles my mind.
@@LeticiaSummers-f9w Donald dislikes women and people with brown and black skin. He would like to take our country back to the 1850s or 1950s.
Hitler and Mussolini weren't physically their ideals. It's amazing how often dictators do that. "Strength" is only good when applied violently, even verbally violence, it seems.
It’s so easy to decide who you want to vote for.
Do you want your children and grandchildren to have access to affordable healthcare, especially if they have pre-existing conditions?
Do you care about your children and grandchildren growing up in a country that values truth and respect?
Are you concerned about them growing up in an environment that is threatened by global warming?
Do you want them to live in a society where democracy still thrive or you want them to live under a dictatorship?
Do you want them to live in a society that cares about all people, not just the top 1%?
And do you understand that many immigrants come here seeking the American dream, believing in the freedom and opportunities this country offers? If the other guy takes over, do you think that dream will still exist for them?
I hope you can find some compassion for those who are seeking a better life. It’s about more than just immigration. it’s about the kind of future we want for our children.
Zelenskyy has lead his people with dignity and strength that Trump could only dream of. Deep down he knows that Zelenskyy is a strong leader and his insecurities make him hate Zelenskyy
Trump hates everybody. He has a floating cast of fluffers.
Also Zelinsky wouldnt go along with Trump's scam to produce made up dirt on Biden.
I read Professor Timothy Snyder's latest book, On Freedom,. In it , he outlines essential qualities a person or government must have to achieve lasting virtuous freedoms. His extensive knowledge of the history of the people of eastern Europe from the explorations of the Vikings and Greeks into Ukraine, to the horrendous time of Hitler through the present is truly informative and captivating. I also recommend that every American read his best-selling book, On Tyranny, as a wake up call to all citizens to engage and participate in a much needed course-correction of our country's local and federal government. Thank you Tim for bringing Professor Snyder on your podcast.
My late relative, born in 1923, was drafted into the army in 1942. He was stationed in the Strasbourg France area, and then sent to Germany, when the camps were liberated. He said that as they marched into the area ( sorry I do not recall exactly which camp) that everyone could literally smell the death in the air. He said it became very clear to him, that it smelled like it does when you encounter a corpse of an animal rotting away, if you have ever had experienced a dog rolling in that and coming home with it on their coat. It is so obvious and nobody can ever deny the Holocaust to me.
My son studied in Lyon some years ago. He rented a room in an old chateau, owned and operated by an elderly French woman and Lyon native, born about the same time as my earlier mentioned relative. She told my son about the time during occupation, when she was riding her bicycle home, during the day and within eyesight of her front door. She said that she was stopped by a teen age Gustopo, he said she was riding too fast, and he wanted to see her papers. Her hands shook as she held her papers out, she began to worry that she would be forcibly arrested and nobody would know. She was not a Jew, her father was forced to work for the occupation because he was a doctor. She said the teen age Gustopo laughed out loud, told her that he was "Just Joking". She said that she never told her father what happened, for fear that he would angrily confront the occupation and be forcibly removed himself. Yeah, the Holocaust was real. The Nazi's were not nice people.
I had a friend who was a holocaust denier. I used to work had a really good French restaurant and I worked with two women who had the numbers tattooed on their forearms. That person is no longer my friend.
A young man's cruel 'joke'. NOT funny!
We took actual videos of the occupation, of skeletal bodies, humans still alive when we went through Germany. They are still available. How can anyone deny it? We took them as proof of the death camps.
I have visited Auswitzch and Birkenau. Even decades after the atmosphere of utter cruelty and despair is dense.
Never again must we allow someone to get in such a position that similar things can happen!
Vote blue 💙
Just the mention of 'camps' by Trump gave me a sick feeling.
No dout, its Faschismus.
I am from Europe.

Professor Snyder is a man for his area. His books are must reads/listens. I've learned so much from his teaching.
Any appearance from Timothy Snyder is an automatic like.
Glad you're asking historians about a possible Hitler scene. Also ask Forensic Psychiatrists about their standardized Danger Assessments. They have reported, in their Duty to Warn, that Trump is at the highest level of danger to others & the country.

I read The Rise & Fall of the Third Reich in high school. The Republican Right is slavishly following the playbook Shirer documented. Would we be where we are now if most voters had read it?

Americans are oblivious to danger. We believe that we will always be free, rich, blessed. None of OUR systems will ever fail. No sir-ee.
Trump is not Hitler, Trump is much more like Mussolini.
I wonder what Edmund Burke would make of MAGA?
“What is liberty without wisdom and without virtue? It is the greatest of all possible evils; for it is folly, vice, and madness, without tuition or restraint.”

I haven't seen or heard anything as clear on the subject of Russia vs Ukraine. Thank you. I will be playing for my family and sharing with others.
If someone in the United States wants to try to visualize what war would be like, just have them imagine what would happen if Donald Trump was elected to be president and then conspired with Putin to take over Canada and share it. This idea is not outside of the realm of possibility. Right now, NATO is the only thing stopping him from doing that if he becomes president.
You guys have to check out the new book Opus so interesting the type of fascism is mirroring the people behind the fascism 😢 We may be screwed
How? We are stronger than fascism.
Justice in this nation isn't given equally. If someone has the money, they have a high probability of evading punitive measures.

Protesting against the treatment of the Palestinians by Israel is NOT ANTI-SEMITISIM. Please stop that. Many Jews, myself included, all over the world do not like Israel's policy. Anti-Zionist is not Anti-Semitism.
Thank you. I believe Netanyahu is Israel's trump (though probably with a brain). I couldn't believe he was voted back into office. He's a bad guy.
It doesn't have to be. But almost--almost--always it is used as one of the many covers for antisemitism.
Thank you ❤ I'm so tired of the immediate judgement of protests about the Israeli regime's ethnic cleansing of Palestinians being called and accepted as anti-Semitism.
The utter lack of western reporting on some of the appalling genocidal statements of Israeli government ministers simply supports and promotes this
I don't think that's what was said. Both things exist. It's absolutely possible to be pro Palestine without being antisemitic. However, both antisemitism and islamiphobia do exist.
There were definitely those harassing Jewish students, etc, during the campus protests as just one example of the connection. It's not anywhere close to everyone (I am very pro Palestine, for instance, but those videos of protestors bullying jewish students infuriates me).
Thank you, Tim & Timothy!💙

@@BooksForever ok. It was an honest mistake that I would have made as well. I also heard that Trump kept a copy of Mein Kempf in his nightstand. It's fine to Reply to the post that it was actually a book of speeches, that's helpful. IMO, The first sentence in your comment was unnecessary. We are all terrified to think the Liar in Chief is so close to being POTUS again, we are on the same team.
@@gailflanagan1214 My first sentence (which you find objectionable) explains why I bothered to set the record straight and why the original poster should bother to care about it.
Amazing interview!! I love Timothy Snyder and Tim, your questions were brilliant!
On time and perfectly put.
Prof Snyder is worth a serious listen!!
You have a cat. Please, bring poor Aretha in to the house. Take her to the vet. It’s the right thing to do.
happy to see you two
Mr Snyder Thankyou for your wisdom on these issues.Especially on Ukrainian. You will not sway everyone on issues but if you gain one or two sitting on the fence god bless you.
Timothy Snyder is a genius. Anything he says is based on reality as we all know reality.
Wow. Powerful.
And frightening.
More Timothy Snyder, please.
Thank you for this.
Tim your content and guests are the best, and so substantive. Thank you.
I sure enjoyed this discussion. Hope you two are on together again soon.
This was an amazing discussion 💙
Do the Americans seriously think the British , French and Germans as well Eastern Europe and the baltic states will just stop supporting Ukraine if trump tries to cut a deal with Putin?? 🤣🤣🤣🤣
Good point. Americans think they are leaders of everything!
Think refrigerated trucks as morgues while Inmate P01135809's depraved indifference led to hundreds of thousands of American deaths.
Let the cat in.
WHY am I getting Trump ads asking for money while watching this???
Let the ads play, it leads to the Trump campaign giving the Bulwark money.
@@anthill1510 I can agree with that....thx!
I love Timothy Snyder. Thank you for this.
RESPECT, @TIM SYNDER 🤔🫡🤔
It’s great that Snyder is on The Bulwark. This brilliant public intellectual has an onerous schedule, but I want you guys to invite him on as many times as possible. He defines and clarifies like no one else. A magnificent mind!
