The Descent into Hell: Authoritarianism Trump-Style
A Klein-Balko conversation about Trump's paramilitary force
Beloved,
Normally we do not post subject matter midweek, leaving the weekend for you to digest Saturday’s offering. This week, however, is an exception.
And that’s because today’s conversation between The New York Times’s Ezra Klein and his guest Radley Balko is so important that you may want to come back to it more than once in the course of the next few days. And that’s because it has huge implications for your life and our collective life as a nation.
The title contains the link: “Trump Is Building His Own Paramilitary Force.”
This coming Saturday’s post will be brief. While it was written and posted for publication before the Times piece appeared today, it will nonetheless constitute a germane sequel to what Klein and Balko discuss.
You can either listen to their conversation as audio or read it in print. Open it here: “Trump Is Building His Own Paramilitary Force.”
Christ’s grace and peace to you in the midst of the mayhem,
Charles Davidson, editor
