About this listen

Barnaby Ellison Thatch traces a crooked line from Andrew Jackson's institutional defiance to the January 6th Capitol breach, examining how populist presidents stress-test constitutional guardrails. This episode explores norm erosion, the parallels between Old Hickory and Trump, and asks whether democratic institutions truly hold when challenged by leaders who claim to embody popular will over constitutional constraint.
