A look at the increasing political polarization of America that locates its roots in, among other things, our increasing physical isolation from those with different views.
Lilliana Mason Livres
The book explores the rise of radical partisanship in American politics and its correlation with increasing support for political violence. Through extensive research, the authors reveal how extreme political identities have fostered hostility towards opposing views, diminishing respect and compromise. They argue that many Americans now view political violence as acceptable if it serves their party's interests. Historical context highlights that while radical partisanship has fluctuated, current trends echo past conflicts, such as those surrounding slavery and racism, underscoring a troubling continuity in American political violence.
