In this bonus episode, listeners can hear the full presentation and poetry reading from Irish poet, conflict mediator, and theologian Pádraig Ó Tuama, which was excerpted throughout season 1 of The Future of Our Former Democracy. Before jumping in, Colin and George offer a quick reflection on the results of last week’s U.S. presidential election and compare the rise of far-right movements in the U.S. to similar trends in Western Europe, focusing on the electoral dynamics in France, the UK, and Germany.TranscriptFor more information on More Equitable Democracy’s work, please visit: https://www.equitabledemocracy.org/  For more information on Larj Media, please visit:  https://www.larjmedia.com/
