The rising cost of dissent in America | Miles Taylor
摘要
Miles Taylor, a former U.S. national security official, shares his personal experiences and the risks he faced for speaking up against the Trump administration. He argues that the real threat to American democracy is not politicians or hardliners, but the two-thirds of Americans who do not speak up due to fear of reprisal. He calls for people to come forward and speak the truth to lower the price of dissent.
