About this listen

 Is the United States disintegrating?
Don Watson offers a report from the United States that catches the madness and theatre of an election like no other.
This is a historically informed, mordant account of Donald Trump, Kamala Harris and a country approaching democratic high noon. From Los Angeles to New York, from Detroit to Kalamazoo, Watson observes America in all its diversity and conflict, reality and unreality. Above all, he sees the threat posed by Trump and his movement, with its blend of menace and glee, Great Replacement theory and electoral malpractice. Do Harris and the Democrats have what it takes? Can America mend its divisions? Do enough of its voters even want to?

I was enthralled from the beginning. The tones of the author held my interest to the point of feeling horror at the future of our time. His information put so much into context about the mostly failings of both sides of American politics. Listening to this made me feel better about our own political landscape but was no more comforting in this realisation. Everyone should listen to this essay.
