On MSNBC Saturday, host Ali Velshi and his guests expressed relief that Democrats weren’t crushed in the midterms but claimed Republican-controlled states are "laboratories of autocracy."and his guests, NYU history professor Ruth Ben-Ghiat and author Joanne Freeman, expressed relief that Democrats weren’t crushed in the midterms but claimed that Republicans are continuing to grow in authoritarianism.
Freeman used her historical knowledge of Civil War-era American politics to note that threats to democracy happen when people who feel entitled to electoral wins, lose. Velshi began the segment by mentioning his relief that the midterms weren’t a red wave for Republicans, though he askedif America was out of the woods from the threats to democracy allegedly posed by the GOP.
The professor denied that democracy is out of harm’s way entirely, due to the gains Republicans made in red states. She replied,"No, and of course the victory for, you know Greg Abbott and Ron DeSantis, and, these places are going to double down their efforts and become even more laboratories of autocracy to scale up."
Ben-Ghiat praised the Democratic wins in elections that she said came"under very difficult circumstances." She added,"That is something to honor and to celebrate."
