Is America entering another age of political violence?
Let’s hope that the voices of American moderation, who have been cowed by extremes on both sides of the political spectrum, use this as a time to step back into the arena. The country’s future may rely on it.
America is no stranger to political violence. It has raised its ugly head with almost frightening regularity at times of extreme polarisation throughout the country’s history.
But for the most part, incidents of assassinations, or attempted assassinations, trigger such shock across the political spectrum that all sides step back from the precipice and cooler heads prevail. Will that be the case in 2024?
