My new interview with Vermont Public Radio's Mitch Wertlieb on the state of democratic norms in the United States (MP3):
Have your concerns about an erosion of political norms been eased, or have they increased?
“I would say there's good news and bad news. Certainly some of the most extreme fears haven't been realized, and that's of course welcome.
“But I think in some ways those fears have been caricatured. There was a whole Wall Street Journal editorial that basically said, ‘Trump isn’t Hitler, therefore everyone's worries about him are invalid.’
“And I think that's both the wrong comparison, and we're at far too early a stage to draw any final conclusions about where we are or what damage may be done.”
