Trump's reactions to Journalism
editAtlantic commentator George Packer believes a second term could spell the end of democracy and journalism.[5]
Prosecution
editIn 2017, Trump allegedly suggested the FBI should consider putting reporters in prison for 10 or 15 years for publishing leaked conversations the President had.[6]
Kash Patel threatened that the next Trump administration, which he would likely be a member of again, would prosecute journalists.[7]
Celebrating violence
editIn 2015, he said he would not kill journalists but reiterated how much he hates them.[8]
A 2018 New Yorker column detailed Trump's celebrating violence against journalists.[9] Rolling Stone has also criticized the president as threatening journalists with prison rape during a public rally in reference to leaks from the Supreme Court decision.[10]
Supporters
editThreats of physical violence by supporters.[11]

editLeonard Leo
editWorldview
editProPublica portrays Leo as growing more extreme, citing Leo as saying Catholicism remained under threat from “vile and immoral current-day barbarians, secularists and bigots” who he calls “the progressive Ku Klux Klan.” Leo also referred to "barbarians" who were “conducting a coordinated and large-scale campaign to drive us from the communities they want to dominate.”[12] Leo was also quoted as saying he wanted to "roll back" or "crush liberal dominance" in American culture and life.[12] Another group that ProPublica described as a direct offshoot from Leo's network (and one which had Leo's support) was described as promoting the dangerous-for-democracy independent state legislature theory that seeks to give state legislatures total control in the administering of elections, removing checks and balances provided by state courts, which some fear would lead to election subversion.[12]

editFrances Z. Brown listed it as her pick for The Carnegie Endowment for International Peace's Eight Best Foreign Policy Podcasts in 2022.[15]
Maybe
editWilliam J. Dobson [@WilliamJDobson] (May 17, 2022). "If you care about democracy and its prospects, I highly recommend you give the @DemParadox podcast a listen. Justin Kempf hosts a smart conversation, and there's a good chance you'll even hear a @JoDemocracy author now and again" (Tweet). Retrieved July 5, 2023 – via Twitter. (only issue here is that it comes across like mutual promotion more than independent endorsement)
The Journal of Democracy [@JoDemocracy] (January 31, 2023). "You need @DemParadox in your podcast rotation; the sharpest thinkers on democracy in conversation with a deeply knowledgeable interviewer. Always essential listening" (Tweet). Retrieved July 5, 2023 – via Twitter. - the Journal of Democracy article is classified as a 'stub' meaning it's not the most ideal source. It's also not peer-reviewed. There's also a question of independence given the quote below.
Recommendation - Jessica Ludwig on Twitter (should she have a Wikipedia profile?) - appears on the podcast to promote her book - maybe not independent?
Current Publishing local profile[13] - no Wikipedia page for the source
Not notable enough (at least not yet)
editWould first want to see a fully-developed Wikipedia page to help evaluate notability for most of these
Democracy Group member[16] (group doesn't have enough media mentions for its own page)
Referenced in WaPo op-ed by Jennifer Rubin (need more than a reference for notability)
Referenced in Jacobin[17] (though the podcast isn't mentioned by name)
