Former National Security Advisor Susan Rice outlined a Democratic "accountability agenda" during a podcast interview with Preet Bharara.

Washington Post columnist Jennifer Rubin called for the "burning down" of the Republican Party and the total repudiation of anyone who enabled the Trump administration. This rhetoric coincides with the "Accountability Project," which seeks to create lists of Trump supporters to ensure they never work in polite society again. Such calls for political retribution and the publication of donor lists have drawn comparisons to the social control mechanisms used in authoritarian regimes.

A listener from Los Angeles shared experiences of social ostracization and breakups resulting from his support for Donald Trump.
