body (despite the Constitution?!).

Said Palast, mild attention to climate change set off the Koch brothers' juggernaut, and so even that

flaccid tokenism has exited the American nightmare. When Sen. Deconcini of Arizona reacted against

the Kochs' theft of oil from Osage Indian reservations, he was threatened to within an inch of his

life and those of his fellow environmentalists.

Chomsky said that Trump is not a fascisthe is far from understanding that ideologybut

more like a tin-pot dictator in a third-world country where regimes are overthrown every

three years. We are the laughingstock of the world.

Re the COVID19 pandemic Goodman asked about, Chomsky recalled how one of Trump's

initial acts in office was to dismantle research and prevention structures put in place by

G. H. W. Bush and Obama in anticipation of further pandemics after SARS, which were

considered inevitable. Every year the president's budget takes more and more away from

the Center for Disease Control, even this year, when he is responsible for 800,000 deaths.

Back to elections, Palast injected a video of an African American man in Milwaukee

asserting loudly that registration should be as easy as walking up to a counter and ordering

"a burger and a ballot."
