Friend, In the special first episode of Sounds Like Hate Season 4, we travel back to the months leading up to Jan. 6, 2021, to track white supremacists as they plan, prepare and execute their violent plot to attack the U.S. Capitol and overturn an election. The year preceding the insurrection was littered with red flags warning that hate groups and extremists could reach a boiling point on Jan. 6. In 2020, protestors took to the streets to march for racial justice and were met with armed and sometimes aggressive counter-protestors. COVID-19 deepened an already strained political divide. And, white supremacists steadily grew their numbers through online radicalization, bolstered by former President Trump's words that they interpreted as a rallying cry.One year after the historic and deadly assault on our Capitol, the SPLC has dedicated this episode of Sounds Like Hate to investigating the warning signs that culminated with a horrific attempt to destroy our democracy. Listen now to learn more about what our hosts uncovered as they scrutinized 2020’s red flags and considered future implications. Sounds Like Hate is a podcast from the SPLC that tells the stories of people and communities grappling with hate and searching for solutions.
