On this edition of Your Call’s Media Roundtable, we discuss how the media should cover Donald Trump and his anti-democratic authoritarian agenda.
The Nation’s Chris Lehman reports that an extremist evangelical movement has set itself up to formulate the governing priorities of a second Trump administration. The plan would vindicate corporal punishment in the home, abolish public education, abolish abortion, define marriage as the covenant union of a biological male and biological female, and more.
