We all witnessed the disturbing occurrences on January 6, 2021 in Washington but also the inauguration of President Biden on January 20. As much as the rest of the world Germany, and especially ZEIT-Stiftung Ebelin und Gerd Bucerius is looking across the Atlantic at the moment.
We wonder, what four years of Trump administration will leave behind in the American society but also in the policy making and the political culture. Since we are fighting the same demons and challenges in Europe (i.e. political populism, detachment of facts by parts of the population, and an unholy alliance between ultra-conservatives, racists, and conspiracy theorists of all kinds), we would like to discuss the necessary changes as well as obstacles with you.
