Comparing the 1/6 Coup to George Floyd Protests
Manage episode 434303944 series 2916173
Brad is joined on a special Wednesday episode by co-host Dan Miller to discuss a question that many will be hearing at BBQs and on social media:
Why is the 1/6 insurrection bad but you have nothing to say about the BLM protests? Those protests led to property damage and violence. Aren't 1/6 and the BLM events the same?
Dan draws on his expertise in populism and material from his new book, Queer Democracy, to explain why the very premise of the comparison is bad, how these movements represent two different types of popular responses to political and cultural events, and how to discuss this issue with friends and family members.
