On Being Pro-Democracy: Rick Wilson
December 11th, 2025
”Democracy should code as American.”
We discuss how being pro-democracy is a big tent coalition. In fact, it is our national identity.
Rick Wilson is co-founder of the Lincoln Project, as well as the host of the Lincoln Project and The Enemies List podcasts. He is a 30 year veteran of national Republican politics, starting with the 1988 presidential campaign of George Herbert Walker Bush, and is now a registered Independent.
