In this first-ever listener-chosen, listener participation segment (which turned into an entire episode), Mike & Jay start with a look at the differences between partisanship, civil conflict, and civil war. That takes them into a discussion of the main ideological and demographic cleavages in American society, how bad they think things are, if civil conflict – and even civil war – is sometimes a good thing, and whether we’re likely to see an escalation or de-escalation in coming years.
Throughout the episode, the guys respond to questions from supporters who joined in on the Zoom call (a benefit available to all Patreon supporters at the $10 per month and higher level).
Mike & Jay committed to doing at least one of these segments each month, and they’re hoping they’ll be able to do more. If you have any suggestions for future listener-choice segments, let us know!
