Nancy MacLean on Democracy in Chains: What is Happening to our Democracy? What can We Do?

Historian Nancy MacLean's book Democracy in Chains describes how the stealth campaign by the Koch network helped lay the groundwork for the election of Trump and the assault on the Capitol on Jan. 6. MacLean documents a decades-long, sophisticated plan by the Radical Right to eliminate majority rule and install an oligarchy of the 1%. We have to understand what's happening to be able to effectively counter these attacks on democracy.
