Political Violence & MAGA: Strategies to Protect Democracy
Season 1
Episode 112
Political violence is on the rise and has reached just about every corner of the country, whether it's confrontations on social media, at school board meetings or the chambers of Congress. While most Americans oppose political violence, it remains a growing threat to our democracy. We convene an expert panel to define political violence and discuss how to protect one another and democracy itself.
