Thanks for tuning in! This episode is a special, never-before-heard recording from early May of 2021 (not June as I say in the intro) that we used as our "practice run" before the podcast officially went online. Here's what we covered: -What happened on January 6th? Order of events. -Why is this so controversial? -The Right's take vs. the Left's take -Evan's take vs. Dan's take -This was not an insurrection. And if it was, then what do you call CHAZ and other acts of political violence during 2020? -Actual insurrections of history (spoiler: they were WAY worse!) -Ominous parallels between our political landscape and that of pre-Imperial Rome (Gracci, Sulla, normalization of political violence and the rise of dueling political parties) -Where do we go from here?
