Before we get to the conversation, a reminder that my limited series The Stakes has completed its initial run with Part IV , which details the strategies by which democratic power might reassert itself. Part I discussed the authoritarian plans for our future, Part II tried to reframe the 2024 Election and what lies beyond it, and Part III dissected why our political and media class get it all so w...
