Seven years ago, David Bisno presented a series of memorable lectures for Osher entitled 鈥淚s This How Fascism Comes to America?鈥 Now he has a new question for us. Some of us may be thrilled and relieved with developments in Washington; others of us may be in dismay, if not completely 鈥榞obsmacked.鈥
In 1935, Sinclair Lewis wrote It Can鈥檛 Happen Here. Can it happen after all? Can a dictator take control of the country? At least we need to consider, and try to understand, just what is happening in America. Are there lessons we can learn from elsewhere? Should we celebrate, or think again?
Do we understand: Il-Liberal democracies? White Christian nationalism? Populist philosophies? The advantages, allure, and dangers of authoritarianism? Cult personalities? The 鈥淒eep State?鈥 Political purges? The advantages or disadvantages of DEI efforts? Are the 鈥榚lites鈥 the problem? Are we aware of what outright Fascism is? Can it happen here? And why?
Join us for educational and provocative discussions. Is it happening here?
This Special two-session event will ask tough questions as we examine the current state of our country.
