The Consequences of the US Presidential Election
Election Day
Today we will hear from Charles Eisenstein, an American public intellectual who has written numerous books on ecology and social affairs, and Vandana Shiva from India, one of the great intellectuals and political activists in the world who has written extensively on globalization, democracy, the environment and human rights. Shelly Alcorn, a close observer of politics and culture in America, will provide an update on what is taking place as the election unfolds.
The US election on Nov 3 is one of the most consequential in history. Democracy itself is under threat, especially in in the United States and by no person more than President Donald Trump. Since he took office in 2017, Trump has presided over the most corrupt Administration in American history, perverted the major institutions of government, especially the Justice Department, and has been mounting increasingly effective attacks on the electoral process itself in order to ensure his continuation in power. Whether or not he will succeed will largely be determined by what happens this week as the people vote and the votes are counted or not.
As the longest continuous democracy in history, the fall of democracy in America would have consequences far in excess to any consequences we face with the COVID pandemic. The pandemic will eventually pass but if Donald Trump succeeds in ending any semblance of meaningful democracy in the United States, the reverberations globally would be severe and long lasting. Authoritarianism would surely triumph. With the powers of surveillance inherent in social media and the internet, government and corporate power would be unchecked and tyranny could shape global politics for years to come.
Each day from November 2 - 6, we will follow what is happening and bring in commentators who can help us understand the significance of the events.
Co-Moderators:
- Jim Garrison, President, Ubiquity University, with Sabinije von Gaffke, Entrepreneur, Change Leader, Founder, Impactfullness Ventures
