Wednesday May 28, 2025 | 6:30PM | SPSCC Lacey
Special Event Sponsored by OWAC & League of Women Voters of Thurston County!

Join Evergreen Professor, Steve Niva, for a REPEAT/UPDATED discussion on Trump 2.0. This administration is systematically reshaping the American political system, moving away from our 1776 constitutional republic. While Elon Musk’s DOGE has captured headlines, it represents just one aspect of this unprecedented effort. Niva’s political-science based presentation, informed by research on autocratic regimes in Hungary, Turkey, and India, will detail how Trump 2.0 follows a blueprint for regime change, while highlighting contradictions and obstacles to its implementation.​

This event is also available by Zoom
