I’m doing something a little different this week. Politics is invading my film criticism website for one very specific reason. I am of the firm belief that if Donald Trump wins the 2024 presidential election, democracy is done for. This is an all-hands-on-deck moment, and if that means a politics interview inexplicably appearing on a website dedicated to movie reviews, so be it.
I’m a reader of the Substack newsletter Lone Star Left, published by Michelle Davis. Since she’s here in Dallas, I wanted to talk to Michelle in an effort to spread the word about her work and to discuss the state of both Texas and national politics. She graciously agreed, and the result is available here.
