In this episode, Scott goes back into history mode, leaning heavily on the amazing work of Princeton historian Dr. Nell Irvin Painter in looking at what the turn of the 19th to 20th century in the US has to teach us about what we're in the midst of today. Tariffs, immigration, deportations, oligarchs, and the resurgence of white supremacist groups are just a few of the parallel issues of today and this period in time. Come with us into the three-week series of leaning on history to catch the scents of the present, so that we can have a sense of what to watch out for and where it might (again) lead.
