Timothy Snyder on the present and future of Trump's 'big lie'

Program Title: Timothy Snyder on the present and future of Trump's 'big lie'
Description: "Post-truth is pre-fascism." So wrote historian Timothy Snyder in his 2017 book, On Tyranny. He penned it in the lead-up to Donald Trump's inauguration, and he's been warning ever since: The United States is not exceptional, a coup could be attempted there, too.

Now, Trump's presidency is in its dying days. He has been impeached by the House again, this time for "incitement of insurrection." But the big lie, as Snyder calls it, that Trump seeded — that the 2020 election was stolen from him — what becomes of that lie now?

Today on Front Burner, Snyder explores that question.
