Author Thomas E. Patterson joins me to discuss his new book, "American Populist: Huey Long of Louisiana."
In this conversation, Tom Patterson discusses his book on Huey Long, drawing parallels between Long's political strategies and those of modern politicians like Donald Trump. The discussion explores themes of populism, media manipulation, and the nature of political power, emphasizing the complexities of political identity and the cyclical nature of political change. Patterson argues that authenticity in communication is crucial for political success, while also highlighting the challenges and contradictions faced by politicians as they navigate their careers. The discussion also touches on the consequences of political actions, the nature of political martyrdom, and the hypocrisy often present in political opposition.
