We continue our Best of 2024 episodes with an  episode from the Democracy Decoded podcast, with host Simone Leeper.In the end, the worst of everyone’s election fears — political violence, overt foreign interference or a razor-thin margin between Kamala Harris and Donald Trump leading to a hotly contested legal battle — did not come to pass. Instead, Donald Trump won a plurality of votes for president, and did so decisively. On January 20, 2025, he will once again become the country’s most powerful executive.His victory raises weighty questions for the experts at Campaign Legal Center. Trump ran explicitly on a platform of behaving like an authoritarian, promising to fire U.S. civil servants, threatening opponents with jail, and brandishing military force against would-be dissenters. As his return to power approaches, we grapple with a paradoxical election, in which voters declared their preference for the candidate who repeatedly threatened the American system as we know it.Joining Simone in this episode are Trevor Potter, CLC’s president and founder, and CLC senior vice presidents Paul M. Smith and Bruce Spiva. They offer their forecasts for the uncertain years ahead and explain what this election did (and did not) signify about the health of American democracy.<a href="https://campaignlegal.org/democracy-decoded/season-4/episode-8-transcript">Read the full transcript</a>Host and Guests:<a href="https://campaignlegal.org/staff/simone-leeper">Simone Leeper </a>litigates a wide range of redistricting-related cases at CLC, challenging gerrymanders and advocating for election systems that guarantee all voters an equal opportunity to influence our democracy.

Best of 2024: Ambitions for Actblue with Regina Wallace-Jones | The Great Battlefield

We continue our Best of 2024 episodes with an  episode from the Democracy Works podcast, hosted by Jenna Spinelle, Christopher Beem, Michael Berkman. Cynthia Miller-Idriss, one of America's leading experts on the far right, joins us this week to discuss what draws people to political extremism online and offline — and what we can do to combat it.Miller-Idriss is the director of the <a href="https://perilresearch.com/" target="_blank">Polarization and Extremism Research and Innovation Lab</a> (PERIL) at American University and author of the book <a href="https://press.princeton.edu/books/hardcover/9780691203836/hate-in-the-homeland" target="_blank">Hate in the Homeland: The New Global Far Right</a>. As you'll hear, PERIL takes a public health approach to preventing violent extremism and provides tools and resources to help communities create resilient democracies.In the interview, Miller-Idriss discusses how extremism and political violence are linked to our desire for community. This dynamic means that extremist ideas can pop up in seemingly innocuous places from martial arts groups to online wellness communities. She says understanding this dynamic is key to moving people away from extremist spaces and into constructive communities.Miller-Idriss visited Penn State as part of the <a href="https://www.psu.edu/news/liberal-arts/story/sawyer-seminar-explore-role-gender-sex-reproduction-ethnonationalism/" target="_blank">Mellon-funded Sawyer Seminar</a> exploring the theme, "Birthing the Nation: Gender, Sex and Reproduction in Ethnonationalist Imaginaries."<a href="https://www.democracyworkspodcast.com/">Democracy Works Podcast</a><a href="https://www.democracygroup.org/shows">More shows from The Democracy Group</a>
