There was a lot of about facing after january 20 21, when republicans who were shocked by the violence denounced it and then almost immediately began to back away. That has worn away. It's not as though a attachment to democratic valuess is part of our d and a that we can't lose, we can easily lose it. I think some people also have come to understand the usefulness of undermining the rules. They say if you undermine the rules, if you reduce faith in the system, that can be if you're somebody who hopes to take advantage of that lack of trust.

Sam Harris speaks with Anne Applebaum, David Frum, Barton Gellman, and George Packer about the ongoing threat to American democracy posed by Republican misinformation and disinformation regarding the 2020 Presidential Election and the attack on the Capitol on January 6th, 2021.
