Well, Here We Are

**This episode contains brief descriptions of violence that occurred on January 6, 2021.
On January 6, 2021, insurrectionists, many of them armed, stormed the US Capitol to interrupt the peaceful transfer of power as the 2020 presidential election results were in the process of being certified by Congress. Aaron Fritschner, deputy chief of staff for a Virgnian member of Congress, joins the pod to discuss the rising tide of political violence in the US. What happened in American politics to make the events of January 6th possible, and what has the fallout been for the US political landscape? Where are the 3-ish things you might ask? Well, they're found in the turducken of political violence, of course.
