Loading...Trump. You can’t go two minutes watching the news without hearing the name, the name that turned the GOP upside down over the last year or so. Seemingly out of nowhere, Donald Trump emerged from the depths of the Republican Party, starting as a laughingstock on both sides and ending up as… well still a laughingstock, but a laughingstock with the Republican ticket into the General Election. Nobody can explain how or why he’s here, but now that he is, we might as well take a crack at understanding how it all went down.
The video above, titled “Authoritarianism: The political science that explains Trump“, does just that. Made by Vox, the video talks about the political science of Authoritarianism, the type of political movement that Vox thinks describes Trump and his followers. It’s a very interesting video, one that gives the rise of Trump a little context and helps explain just what the heck is going on.
