State-Sponsored Terror Threatens Democracy
Democracy is under siege, and state-sanctioned vigilantes are leading the charge. In this episode Rick speaks with Jon Michaels and David Noll, authors of the upcoming book\xa0Vigilante Nation: How State-Sponsored Terror Threatens Our Democracy. They discuss the alarming rise of state-backed vigilante activities, particularly through laws like Texas SB8, and how these efforts are aimed at achieving authoritarian political control. The conversation explores the MAGA movement's tactics, the threats to democratic institutions, and the potential dangers surrounding future U.S. elections. It's a chilling analysis of how private actors, with state approval, are shaping America\u2019s political landscape.\nJon and David's book,\xa0Vigilante Nation: How State-Sponsored Terror Threatens Our Democracy,\xa0available for pre-order now.\n\nTimestamps:\n(00:01:45) Vigilante Nation\n(00:14:56) If we keep on pushing\n(00:19:07) The spectrum of violent organizations\n\nFollow Resolute Square:\nInstagram\nTwitter\nTikTok\nFind out more at Resolute Square\nLearn more about your ad choices.
