Do Not Become Hopeless: A Conversation with Robert Reich

As today’s guest, Robert Reich reminds us, wishful thinking won’t save us from what’s coming, but neither should we bury ourselves in cynicism. The truth is, the bottom 90% of the country have been ignored for 50 years and while Trump might have spoken to them and swayed them, he will not help them. So this is not the time to give up. This is the time to use every lever of power to stop the worst of authoritarianism from taking over and to stand behind the people and organizations fighting for our country’s integrity, its principles, and our freedoms. Perhaps we can even use this destruction as an opportunity to build something better.The mainstream media has let us down, so we need to support those doing independentwork more than ever. The extremists have been able to shape the minds of fair amount of this nation because the far right invested in their voices. Please give people like me a chance to fight back.
