Dictatorship Dream: Trump Third Term Fantasy
On the Lean to the Left Podcast, host Bob Gatty welcomes bestselling author Paul Greenberg to discuss his political satire, which imagines George Washington returning to run against a tyrant reminiscent of Donald Trump, who is seeking a third term in office.
Greenberg shares his motivations for writing the novella, the importance of democracy to environmentalism, and his experiences in countries with dictatorships.
The conversation explores slavery, leadership, and the potential threats to U.S. democracy. Greenberg also talks about his unique distribution strategy through independent bookstores, his plans for audio and dramatic adaptations, and the critical importance of elections integrity in combatting authoritarianism.
