Two friends reach out across the Atlantic to try and make sense of it all: American politics, history, and society; Trump-ism and the COVID crisis. Mike is a Stanford professor, Johannes is a German journalist. Where are the United States headed? Is there hope for the future?
After a two-year hiatus, The Americanist crew is back. Just in time so that Johannes and Mike can discuss Kamala Harris' nomination as a presidential candidate 2024 and Joe Biden's resignation from the campaign. Too little too late? Or can the Democratic party save its chances and prevent another Trump term? And what ever happened to JD Vance? While Mike is still reluctant to stare down his demons, Johannes has watched some FOX & Friends to gently slap his liberal friend awake.
