Placing the Insurrection in American History (History is Here to Help)
The origins and implications of the violence. The host for this episode is Jay Fidell. The guests for this episode are Peter Hoffenberg, Jean Rosenfeld and David Rapoport.
We discuss where the recent attack on the U.S. Capitol and the other violent acts, such as the threat against the Governor of Michigan, fit in our history and culture.
We talked about religion last time and left off with the question about how religion might shape and be shaped by American nationalist and racial ideas. Can that help us untangle what is going on, to talk about an American religious identity.
What might we suggest about responses to such violence in ways that do not damage democracy and liberalism, but protect them and their integrity. What are the options and possibilities.
