Jason Stanley: ‘With Trump and His Cohort, the World Target Is Democracy’

RUSH EXCERPT:

STANLEY: "We had to keep dictators in place there to prevent communism from infiltrating. This is something very different. The idea, now, is that the United States is going to become a dictatorship. And so we can’t have democracies around us. It’s very much like Russia. Putin can’t have democracies in his neighborhood, because otherwise, his own people will see that other countries can replace their leaders. So this is, in that vein, in the ’70s and ’80s, though, the target was communism. With the Trump and his cohort, the world target is democracy."
