Historians Warn of Censorship if Trump Wins

Presidential historian Michael Beschloss warned that a victory for Donald Trump in the 2024 election could lead to a choice between democracy and dictatorship, suggesting that future historians might be unable to document Trump's presidency. On MSNBC's 'Morning Joe,' Beschloss stated that the fate of historical documentation is uncertain if Trump wins, implying potential censorship by corporate interests in publishing. He compared Trump's rise to other authoritarian regimes, emphasizing that the day of the election could be seen as a pivotal moment in U.S. history. Co-host Joe Scarborough underscored that billionaire owners of major publications might suppress dissenting narratives. This dire prediction has sparked debate about the implications of the election outcome on freedom of speech and historical record-keeping.
