Is liberalism dead? Linda’s latest guest doesn’t think so. Shikha Dalmia is the president of the Institute for the Study of Modern Authoritarianism and founder of The UnPopulist. She and Linda discuss Shikha’s political trajectory as an Indian-American immigrant and her organization’s recent event, LibCon—the Liberalism in the 21st Century Conference. Linda and Shikha unpack the trend of executive overreach, and discuss how to safeguard liberal values by reinforcing our institutions against authoritarian overreach.
