Historian and veteran Tad Stoermer joins host Kris Goldsmith for the debut episode of On Offense. Together, they dig into the dangerous power of patriotic myth-making—like that in Ken Burns’ feel-good history—and how it’s left Americans unprepared to face modern authoritarianism. They cover:– What the Founders really understood about tyranny– Why “defending democracy” isn’t enough– How weaponized nostalgia helps fascists win– What resistance actually looked like in early America

Hosted by U.S. Army combat veteran and antifascist investigator Kris Goldsmith, each episode goes inside extremist movements, breaks down how the far right is seizing power, and features frontline voices from the fight against authoritarianism.
