Historian argues Trump's attacks on democratic ideals give the left a chance to reclaim its legacy
By
Alexander Willis
Summary
Historian Harvey Kaye argues in a Zeteo analysis that Donald Trump's attacks on America's founding democratic principles have created an opportunity for the political left to reclaim its historical legacy. Kaye, a professor emeritus of democracy and justice studies, contends that Trump's actions are undermining the nation's foundational democratic promise, which the left can now leverage to reposition itself as the true defender of American democratic values.
