Jon Meacham: 'Democracy is a manifestation of all of us' - Velshi - MSNBC
As Donald Trump prepares to take office again, award-winning historian and presidential biographer Jon Meacham discusses what history shows us about the resilience of democracy against the rising tides of authoritarianism.
“Because [democracy] is human,” Meacham says, “it’s going to be up and down and back and forth.” Meacham also encourages Americans to see each other in a more empathetic lens, saying “democracy is a manifestation of all of us.” - Aired on 01/19/2025.
