Roundtable: Star Wars and the fight to save democracy

On this roundtable follow up to our most recent episode, "Does liberty always die in thunderous applause?" politicos Nick Dicolandrea and Danielle Adams rejoin Beltway Banthas to discuss the show. The panel grapples with the idea that democracy could die in the United States with barely a whimper, and why the political lessons of Star Wars still remain so poignant.  Panel: Stephen Kent @Stephen_kent89 Danielle Adams @DanielleAdamsNC Nick Dicolandrea @NickDico
