Mehdi Hasan, a Guardian US columnist and author of Win Every Argument, expresses his shock at the events of the past 100 days.
According to Hasan, even for someone who predicted a negative outcome, the reality is far worse than he anticipated.
Hasan finds the lack of resistance to Donald Trump’s second term more shocking than the policies themselves, which were outlined during the campaign.
Hasan discusses the impact of Trump’s first 100 days on the people in the US and around the world. He also talks about Trump’s plan to run for a third term, the performance of the Democrats, and the need for public movements to resist the erosion of democratic norms.
His greatest hope is that a majority of the American people recognize the danger that American democracy is facing and actively work to address it.
