Fixing what’s broken: Uncivil War & American Democracy (Virtual) Wednesday April 14, 2021 Free Fourteen days after a mob stormed the Capitol attempting to “stop the steal,” President Biden declared in his Inaugural Address that we must “end this Uncivil War” threatening our democracy. Hyperpolarization, partisan tribalism, the politics of outrage, incivility, refusal to compromise and truth decay have led to a state of division and politically motivated violence we’ve not seen since the Civil War. GBH News political reporter Mike Deehan moderates a discussion with U.S. Congressman Jim McGovern, political scientist Lilliana Mason, and political strategist Ron Christie on what can be done to turn the temperature down, answer President Biden’s call for “unity” and focus on the urgent business of governing our nation.
