As the presidential campaign is in full swing in the United States, the divisions that divide American society appear particularly deep. Since Donald Trump's arrival in the country's political life, he has been subject to a major conservative offensive, including the fight against "wokeism" and "cancel culture". A situation that makes some voters fear a decline in the rights of women and minorities, but also in democracy, while the Capitol riots in 2021 have left their mark. However, despite the great tension running through its society, the United States has remarkable economic dynamism. Enough to stem the threats to the cohesion of its society? Is American democracy in danger? To what extent are women's rights being called into question? What place do minorities occupy in American society? How does the issue of firearms oppose Democrats and Republicans? In this podcast, Rama Yade, former Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs and Human Rights (2007-2009) and then for Sports (2010), Africa Director of the Atlantic Council and author of "Les leçons de l'Amérique, Nation et puissance" (2024, L'Harmattan), takes an in-depth look at the foundations of American democracy and the perils it faces.
