Paramilitary Forces, Concentration Camps, and the Midterms: Timothy Snyder on Fighting Fascism

Historian Timothy Snyder wants people to start calling out our current government with words like: fascism, concentration camps, and paramilitary actions. Snyder, author of “On Tyranny: Twenty lessons from the twentieth century” speaks with Maria Hinojosa about the significance of this historic moment.  He helps us understand how the upcoming U.S. midterm elections are  considered by many, including himself, to be very consequential in terms of whether the country continues to flirt with fascism. He talks about how we got to where we are, what we can do about it, and the best and worst case scenarios with election results.
