This episode of In Retrospect will be an early episode on the US midterm elections at the end of this year. We especially want to focus on the developments in the Republican Party and the rise of Trumpism in the party. Ever since Donald Trump won the Republican primary elections in the runup to the 2016 presidential elections, he has slowly taken grip on every aspect of the Republican Party. It is getting harder and harder to voice opposing opinions in the party, forcing most Republicans to continue defending the ‘Big Lie’ that the 2020 presidential election was lost unfairly due to fraud at the voting process. During this episode we will discuss the impacts of Trumpism on the Republican Party, and on American democracy and its institutions as a whole. We relate this to the Midterm elections, and discuss the chances of Republican success during these elections.  We have interviewed Dr. G.H.J. Baarssen to discuss these topics with us. Dr. Baarssen is a lecturer at Leiden Univerisity, and teaches among oth

In our second episode about Extinction Rebellion we talk to Johnny, who's an active member here in the Hague. We ask him how civil disobedience leads to change, why XR demands net zero by 2025 and how a citizen’s assembly works. Disclaimer: Towards the end of the episode, Johnny mentions that the news story about the man that was not able to get to his dying parent because of an XR roadblock was staged. He told us that he knows this from a safe source. We recorded the episode two weeks before the release and Johnny has since tried to get in contact with the people involved in Bristol. We do not have confirmation yet but will update this description as soon as we do. Here’s a newspaper article on the topic: https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-7260773/Bristol-man-unable-father-died-Extinction-Rebellion-protest-traffic.html
