While many countries are governed by oligarchs and dictators, the United States has been known as a nation where the people decide its leaders and policies, and Americans have prided themselves on being the masters of their own fate. Unfortunately, the last few years have thrown cold water on that characterization. In this informative and engaging conversation, TNA’s editors discuss the similarities between bona fide banana republics and America today, how we got to such a dismal state, the difference between republics and democracies, what powers the president should and shouldn’t have, and the key to national restoration.

Conversation points:
