NDN News: New Events and New Event Videos, GOP Can Walk Away From Trumpism

NDN Events– As part of the new Biden era, NDN has committed to hosting regular Zoom based events with leading policy makers, elected officials, innovators – people who are shaping American politics in this exciting new time.  On our site you can: 

Watch A Past Event- In the past few weeks we’ve hosted events with Rep.Ruben Gallego of Arizona, New Dem Vice Chair Rep. Scott Petersand noted historian Ruth Ben-Ghiat.  You can find recordings of our growing video catalog here.

Register for an Upcoming Event- In the coming months we already have terrific events scheduled on Impeachment and High Crimes, our growing information disorder, the Hispanic vote and a one on one with voting rights activist Ari Berman.  You can see our current schedule and register for any of these events here.  

Sign up for Fridays in Feb and March for “With Democrats Things Get Better” –Every Friday through the end of March we will be hosting a brand new version of our acclaimed presentation, With Things Get Better – A Meditation on the Success of the American Center-Left.  You can learn more about With Dems, watch last Friday’s presentation and register for a future presentation here.  NDN is very proud of this work, and are excited to bring it to you each week.  

Walking Away From Radicalism, Trumpism– In the days since Jan 6th, the national Republican Party has had repeated opportunities to walk awayfrom the radicalization of the Trump era, and has repeatedly refused to do so.  Let us hope that in the coming Impeachment Trial the GOP Senates takes the opportunity to create clear distance from Trumpism, and join Democrats in convicting him for what has to be single most significant attack on our democratic system by a sitting American President.  If this is not something which deserves the harshest penalty a democracy can offer, what else could it be? 

Republicans had a chance to end Trump’s dark hold over their party in the 2020 Impeachment, and failed to do so.  They were rewarded with a catastrophic COVID effort, an economic collapse and an attack on our democracy.  If they fail to cut from him this time, what should they expect next? One shudders to imagine, frankly.  

 Let us hope the GOP takes this important off-ramp from Trumpism and extremism, and begin the process of once again becoming a more conventional, responsible center-right party familiar to democracies throughout the world.  

Sincerely, 

Simon, Georgia and the rest of the NDN team
