Emmy award-winning MSNBC host, podcaster and author Rachel Maddow says the tactics of people who want to get rid of democracy echo.

“They are recurring. You see them in every country where this happens,” said Maddow.

“You see them every time it happens in our country, and learning those tactics and how they work, I find sort of grounding. I don’t find it scary. I find it heartening, ‘Oh, we have contended with this before.’”
