Manage episode 284325747 series 2870946
A Capitol Riot, a failed insurrection, a second impeachment, and a new President.
Welcome to January, 2021. We return to catch you up on why the events of January 6th will effect us all far beyond the Trump presidency.
Are we at the start of a 'Third Reconstruction', and were the events of January 6th a preview of a new 'Redeemer' movement? Is the recent push for domestic terror laws reminiscent of the push for the Patriot Act in the wake of 9/11? We will talk about all of that while charting a new course forward for the podcast.
