Racism, Lying, Propaganda, and Conspiracies: Unpacking Trump's Fascism with Author and Expert Dr. Jason Stanley

The word "fascism" gets thrown around a lot these days -- but do we know exactly what we're saying? Dr. Jason Stanely, professor and author of the book "How Fascism Works: The Politics of Us and Them," has studied the patterns of behavior throughout history, including the likes of Hitler, Putin, and now Trump. He breaks the ideology down into 10 pillars that make it easy to recognize and identify, and now especially in the midst of a pandemic, we can see how it is coming to life here at home. Mark and Jason get into the topics of propaganda, conspiracies, the media, the news cycle, coronavirus, and more in this wide-ranging lesson on fascism.
