About the event
Will Trump heal or hinder America’s deep divisions? We delve into the challenges facing democracy and culture in the United States. With the Republicans holding a monopoly from the White House, the Supreme Court and on the Hill, can American democracy represent all people? And what about culture - the Woke versus Vance battle?
And consider the Celeb-tocracy versus the People, can the Democrats recover the common touch or is that MAGA’s for the next decade? Will Trump go after the civil service? Is MAGA exportable? Join us for a thought-provoking discussion on American democracy in the era of Trump 2.0 and how it will affect the world.
