Episode notes

The majority of republican voters believe that there was foul play in the election and that joe byden didn't achieve a clean win. And we never had election to nihilism on that scale in this country ever. That's also a number we haven't seen in a very long time, arguably not since the 19 twenties when the second cuklux clan arose. This is a very different demographic than the politically violent have been in the lifetimes of anyone now alive.

One year later, the United States is still trying to wrap its head around what happened on January 6, 2021. (It was an insurrection.) This year, our democracy once again will be tested.

Today’s show was produced by Victoria Chamberlin, edited by Matt Collette, engineered by Efim Shapiro, fact-checked by Laura Bullard, and hosted by Sean Rameswaram.
