Timothy Snyder discusses fascism and truth with Sharon McMahon

Original: Modern # Fascism , the Collapse of # Truth , and Why # Americans Need “Small # Courage ” Timothy # Snyder and Sharon # M

Historian Timothy Snyder joined educator Sharon McMahon for a wide-ranging conversation about the state of American democracy, the rise of what he calls modern fascism, and the collapse of shared truth. Snyder argued that ordinary Americans can push back through what he terms small courage — everyday acts of integrity and honesty. Their discussion touched on how authoritarian tactics evolve and why individual choices matter for democracy's survival.

Why now: Snyder's warnings about fascism and democratic decline resonate amid ongoing concerns about the health of American democracy.
