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? For
over four years, through a series of surveys and experiments,
Nathan P. Kalmoe and Lilliana Mason have been studying radicalism
among ordinary American partisans. In this groundbreaking book,
they 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. Early chapters reveal the scope of the problem,
who radical partisans are, and trends over time, while later
chapters identify the conditions that partisans say justify
violence and test how elections, political violence, and messages
from leaders enflame or pacify radical views. Kalmoe and Mason find
that ordinary partisanship is far more dangerous than pundits and
scholars have recognized. However, these findings are not a
forecast of inevitable doom; the current climate also brings
opportunities to confront democratic threats head-on and to create
a more inclusive politics. Timely and thought-provoking, Radical
American Partisanship is vital reading for understanding our
current political landscape.
