Opportunity for the nation to imagine itself otherwise. Where the country had an opportunity to leave behind the realitycynd how to organize our society and that each of those moments the country double down. And we saw was some call a backlash. We saw instead was an ongoing betrayal. What we think about the post reconstruction. And a lost cause and that anglosaxon and what it meant for the United States and the world as a betrayal.

Host what is your response to him saying that he has received death threats, that he has received pressure from those in the Republican Party . How do you respond to those accusations .
