Mike Gs Eclectic Reads | Divided We Fall -- David French [Full Book Review] [CC] @mikegseclecticreads | Uploaded November 2020 | Updated October 2024, 4 hours ago.
Is there a secession threat facing the U.S. today? I talk about David French's new book, "Divided We Fall: America's Secession Threat and How to Restore Our Nation."
0:00 Intro
1:18 Secession?
2:17 Key topics in the book
4:14 Political polarization in the U.S.
4:51 Stifling of free speech and political discourse
6:57 Pluralism and federalism
9:18 My reservations about French's federalist proposal
12:25 Summing things up
I learned a lot from it, but I don't think it does any one topic better than the other books out there.
However, I highly recommend this episode of the Ezra Klein Show, in which French was an invited guest and discussed secession more directly.
