Adam Gopnik – The Future of American Democracy
I samtal med Per Svensson
Tisdag, 19 januari

Donald Trump har lämnat byggnaden, men tog han trumpismen med sig när han gick? Förakt för medierna, förakt för institutionerna, förakt för den liberala demokratin, förakt för minoriteter - Trump exploaterade de mörka sidorna av det amerikanska historien och kulturen. I vilken utsträckning kommer arvet efter honom att definiera USA under de kommande åren? Och hur skadad är den amerikanska demokratin och vad kan göras för att reparera den?

Adam Gopnik, The New Yorker i ett samtal med Per Svensson, Dagens Nyheter, om tillståndet och framtiden för USA efter Trumperan.

Donald Trump has left the building, but what about trumpism? Contempt for the press, contempt for institutions, contempt for liberal democracy, contempt for minorities – Trump exploited the dark side of american history and culture. To what extent will his legacy define USA in the years ahead? And just how damaged is American democracy and what has to be done in order for it to recover ?
