Is Trumpworld at a Breaking Point? | Edwin Eisendrath & Susan Demas LIVE

The public backlash — from cities resisting ICE to candidates filing everywhere in Texas — signals a country refusing to go quietly.

  • Trump’s 2025 doctrine revives racial hierarchy as a governing principle, dressed up in foreign-policy language.

  • The administration’s immigration regime has crossed into state-sanctioned ethnic cleansing with expanding impunity.

  • Republican institutions keep posturing about limits while quietly enabling the corrosion of democratic guardrails.

Susan Demas and Edwin Eisendrath surface the reality that this government’s center of gravity has shifted from policy to domination, with foreign strategy, deportation campaigns, and institutional sabotage all reinforcing a worldview where coercion substitutes for legitimacy. Trump’s Monroe Doctrine cosplay isn’t a coherent foreign policy blueprint — it's about restoring an old racial order. And the violence radiating from immigration enforcement makes that intent unmistakable. Congressional whispers about accountability ring hollow against their long record of shielding the machinery now carrying out these abuses. Yet the resistance taking shape — in cities warning their neighbors, in candidates stepping up everywhere — shows a public no longer willing to absorb the shock quietly. That refusal, more than institutional rhetoric, is what’s beginning to unsettle the architecture of this moment.

Tune in to this urgent conversation about the stakes we’re living through.
