Episode 206 uploaded June 16: Mark Tinkleman guest-hosts,
covering SCOTUS decisions on the abortion medication mifepristone as
well as gun control, Trump’s support from powerful people, the Southern
Baptist Convention’s attack on IVF, and a listener’s feedback.
Then
Sam Goldman welcomes researcher Teddy Wilson back on to discuss how the MAGA
movement is weaving Trump’s conviction and January 6 into a lore of
violence and victimization. They discuss the historical similarities
between the events surrounding January 6th and other episodes of
political violence in American history and understanding the roots of
the US fascist movement.

Teddy Wilson:
America is a country that does have a rich history of political violence. The response to the guilty verdict was immediate. I think you used the correct description of "unhinged." To people that were going to vote for Trump already, that are solid voters for Trump,I seriously doubt that this verdict changed any of their minds. In fact, all the evidence is to the contrary. Did it harden their position? What is the potential for another event like January 6? Going forward it's really important to examine.
