Election 2020
GasLit Nation: Traitors and Patriots
GASLIT NATION WITH ANDREA CHALUPA AND SARAH KENDZIOR
Happy New Year, everyone — the hellscape of 2020 is finally over and we’ve got a whole new hellscape to explore! We take stock of Trump’s ongoing coup attempt and his recorded shakedown efforts against Georgia Republican officials, the prospect of violence as the GOP Sedition Caucus and the Proud Boys try to destroy democracy from within, the Trump admin’s plans to use Iran for a planned “national emergency” to illegally extend Trump’s power, the ongoing massive Russian cyberattack and much, much more!

This audio has been edited to remove the name of an individual about whom the president makes unsubstantiated allegations.
