Trump may be gone but American politics is still in crisis. The Lincoln Project has sparked a nationwide movement to restore our democracy. This podcast is hosted by co-founder Reed Galen and he is regularly joined by our political experts and guests that helped defeat Trump and continue the mission to stamp out Trumpism and the seditionists who backed him. The podcast discusses today’s political challenges, our vision for the future and how all Americans can be part of our pro-democracy movement.

episode 243: The Far-Right is Rising - Part IV: The Mainstreaming of Extremism with Garrett Graff
In the final episode of “The Far-Right is Rising”, host Reed Galen is again joined by Garrett Graff, a journalist, historian, and host of Long Shadow: Rise of the American Far Right. In part two of a two-part conversation, they discuss how the American far-right extremist movement went from being on the fringe to being accepted by the mainstream, how political violence and its associative rhetoric has become frighteningly more common (and acceptable), and why this moment in American politics is so pivotal.
