Timothy Snyder notes that what Trump and Putin offer is nostalgia for a fake past that never existed. But:

"Any good politics has to be a politics of the future. So we're stuck now in a present where we seem to be locked, locked together in silly conversations on social media or polarized or stuck in some way or another."

"And we also are facing politicians like Trump and Putin who keep us in a kind of artificial nostalgia, who are propelling us back into things that never happened, into the way things never were. And to break through that, I think we need to have the future. And the future has to have a big idea."
