Ep. 65: Processing events at the U.S. Capitol
b'Following the shocking events on Wednesday 6 January when a mob of Trump supporters (incited by the president) stormed the U.S. Capitol Building, Allan and Darren offer their reactions in this episode recorded in the afternoon of Friday 8th. Above all, does this drama change how they see the short- and medium-term trajectory of the United States? For Allan the events reinforce rather than change views he\\u2019s formed over the past four years, while Darren tries, perhaps foolishly, to offer an optimistic assessment.\\nWe thank AIIA intern Mitchell McIntosh for his help audio editing and Rory Stenning for composing our theme music.\\nRelevant Links\\nBruno Ma\\xe7\\xe3es, History has begun: The birth of a new America (Hurst Publishers): https://www.hurstpublishers.com/book/history-has-begun/\\nAll in: The fight for Democracy (Amazon Prime): https://www.amazon.com/All-Fight-Democracy-Stacey-Abrams/dp/B08FRQQKD5\\nMatthew Continetti, \\u201cTrump must pay\\u201d, National Review, 6 January 2021: https://www.nationalreview.com/corner/trump-must-pay/\\nYuval Levin, \\u201cTrump\\u2019s rebellion against reality\\u201d, The Dispatch, 7 January 2021\\u201d https://thedispatch.com/p/trumps-rebellion-against-reality\\nBruno Ma\\xe7\\xe3es, \\u201cThe roleplaying coup\\u201d, City Journal, 7 January 2021: https://www.city-journal.org/the-role-playing-coup'
