How many Americans actually support political violence?, with Thomas Zeitzoff
A talk with political scientist Thomas Zeitzoff, who has studied political conflicts. We talk about survey results that show an increase in Americans' willingness to support political violence, and how that relates to our fears over future violent conflicts and "civil war" scenarios in America. Other topics discussed include: the ambiguity in political surveys; how overstated claims of support for political violence can lead to a self-reinforcing dynamic and a self-fulfilling prophecy; the psychology of polarization; the Ukraine-Russia conflict and the role of social media in that; the effects of social media on society in general.
