USA in Transition: An Evening about Trump, Populism, and Democracy
How stable is democracy in the United States 250 years after its founding? The lecture Make America great again? at the educational center of VHS Gelsenkirchen critically examines the political development of the USA around Donald Trump and his second term.
Political Power and Democratic Boundaries
The focus is on the challenges that democratic institutions in the USA face. The event asks what goals supporters from politics, business, and society pursue and how populist as well as anti-democratic positions become socially compatible.
Tech Entrepreneurs, Heritage Foundation, and Evangelical Circles
The lecture sheds light on important networks behind the political movement: tech entrepreneurs, the Heritage Foundation, and evangelical circles shape the debates about state, society, and political order. This creates a nuanced view of influence, interests, and ideological frameworks.
Psychology Behind Populist Slogans
Sabine Schulze and Dr. Torsten Reters also dedicate themselves to the personality structures and attitudes that underlie populist slogans and their following. Expert categorization, socio-political analysis, and audience discussion combine to create an informative event experience.
Context in the Anniversary Year
The 250th anniversary of the USA provides the historical framework for the event. The VHS event planning combines political education with current democracy analysis and is aimed at anyone who wants to understand international politics, societal developments, and the future of democratic systems.
Conclusion
The audience can expect a focused evening with current questions, professional perspectives, and space for discussion. Those who want to better understand the political developments in the USA and reflect on the resilience of democratic societies will experience a relevant lecture with high current relevance at the educational center in Gelsenkirchen.
