Daily: How TRUMP’S BIG LIE could still destroy American democracy

<p>Trump’s Big Lie that Democrats stole the Presidential election is poisoning Republican minds against democracy itself. Could a future Republican Congress simply refuse to confirm an elected Democrat as President in 2024? Would Democrats willingly hand power to a victorious Republican – possibly Trump himself –&nbsp;who was openly committed to curtailing democracy? Georgetown public policy professor <strong>Donald Moynihan</strong> looks at these nightmare scenarios and explains why American democracy is in critical danger.&nbsp;</p><p><em>•&nbsp;“The Big Lie is not a marginal idea… Some 55 to 70% of Republicans believe that Trump won the election.” </em></p><p><em>•&nbsp;“If these ideas remain dominant it could lead to the end of democracy as we know it in the United States.” </em></p><p><em>•&nbsp;“The Republican Party hasn’t bothered with a sensible autopsy like in 2012 because it’s committed to this Big Lie.” </em></p><p><br></p><p><em>•&nbsp;Presented and produced by Andrew Harrison with Ayesha Hazarika and Justin Quirk.
