MODERATORDominique Arel
(U of Ottawa, Canada)darel@uottawa.ca
AUTHOR Timothy Snyder
(Yale U, US)timothy.snyder@yale.edu
The Founding Fathers tried to protect us from the threat they knew, the tyranny that overcame ancient democracy. Today, our political
order faces new threats, not unlike the totalitarianism of the twentieth century. We are no wiser than the Europeans who saw democracy
yield to fascism, Nazism, or communism. Our one advantage is that we might learn from their experience. Expanded from a post-Trump
electionn post that received over 17,000 shares on Facebook.
“A brief primer in every important thing we might have learned from the history of the last century, and all that we appear to have
forgotten” –The Guardian
