Chicago studies in American politics
Content:
Radical partisanship among ordinary Americans is rising, and it poses grave risks for the prospects of American democracy. Political violence is rising in the United States, with Republicans and Democrats divided along racial and ethnic lines that spurred massive bloodshed and democratic collapse earlier in the nation's history. The January 6, 2021 insurrection and the partisan responses that ensued are a vivid illustration of how deep these currents run. How did American politics become so divided that we cannot agree on how to categorize an attack on our own Capitol? In this book, Nathan P. Kalmoe and Lilliana Mason draw on new evidence - as well as insights from history, psychology, and political science - to put our present partisan fractiousness in context and to explain broad patterns of political and social change.
