jennifer, victor is a professor of political science at georgia madison university. she says the memo show how explicit trumps efforts to overturn the election when democracy is die, they tend to not die in spectacular fashion and over some significant big event. but rather they degrade slowly over time. and so what we're seeing here is more evidence of this idea of the administration under the presidency of donald trump, having engaged in significant number of practices and behaviors that are frankly just plain anti democratic. to some extent, i think many of us suspected that this type of thing had gone on. donald trump did not accept the results of the election in november or december. and of course, there was the capital insurrection that he played some role in an effort to overturn the election results. and so his campaign of not believing in election results not wanting others to believe the election results. this, this evidence that has been presented today helps us to understand that this was very explicit from, from the beginning. really, there were clearly

georgia. the same big lie. yesterday, the president of the united states delivered a speech that was set in alternate universe -- an alternate universe. he called these mainstream state laws, these must integrity measures that are widely popular with americans quote -- listen to this, the single most significant test of our democracy since the civil war. really? this is our new president who promised to lower the temperature, bring america back together and rebuild a civil society where we can dialogue as fellow citizens. that is the person who is now yelling that mainstream state laws are more dangerous than two world wars? somehow analogous to the civil war? that is with the president of the united states said yesterday? what utter nonsense. it would be left out loud funny if it was not so completely and totally your sponsor. here are the great sins of the texas proposals. here is what is apparently so outrageous. they want to wind down a few emergency covid voting procedures, including drive-thru voting and polling places that are open all night long. i am serious. that is what this is all about. they want t

georgia state university. he says, president ortega has been repressing competition ahead of that vote. this cannot possibly be a an honest and competitive election when most of the opposition candidates are either under house arrest or being detained. some of them with no contact with lawyers or their families. so almost disappeared. so it's unclear what, what it, what would it clearly does show is how insecure daniel or take it is about competition, but also help brazen. this is to, to wipe out the opposition before an election scheduled for november. he has done very and democratic things, including having the constitution change to allow his repeated reelections repressing protests, especially in 2018 with very harsh repression and relying on on a harsh reaction to any kind of descent or protest against his regime over the last couple of years so he's grown increasingly authoritarian ah, there and these, that help stories. demonstrators have taken to the streets in several brazilian cities calling from the impeachment of president john, both at all. right. they're angry over the han
