After listening to the DNC and RNC there is one thing both parties can agree on: this election is the most important in our history, America and our democracy are in danger, and the consequences are grave if the other guy wins! In Part 1 of the reaction to this week's Republican National Convention Connor takes a big picture approach. He discusses fear and the dangers of how it can be used to control and manipulate people. 2020 has been a year filled with fear and both the DNC and RNC continued with rhetoric from a fear-based mentality.
Connor also takes a step back and looks at how some of the world's greatest leaders have handled fear in the most difficult times. He looks specifically at how Winston Churchill calmed his nation during WWII and gives the surprising history of the "Keep Calm and Carry On" poster.
