Nearly 90 percent of those arrested in relation to the Capitol insurrection were not part of far right extremist groups or militias. And though their actions were extreme, their motivations and beliefs are part of a larger movement that University of Chicago political scientist Robert Pape describes as "mainstream."

How have those groups evolved in the year since the Insurrection? And what does it mean for the extremism that fueled the insurrection to become mainstream?

When Trump supporters stormed the Capitol a year ago, they were motivated in part by what some analysts and authorities call "the big lie."

It's a conspiracy theory embraced by former President Donald Trump that claims the 2020 presidential election was stolen by Democrats.

According to one poll from Monmouth University, nearly three-quarters of Republicans believe Biden's 2020 election win was illegitimate. Republicans' belief in the stolen election has become a litmus test for the party.

As part of our week-long series on Jan. 6, we're diving into how the GOP got here and what this means for the 2022 midterm election.

Last year on Jan. 3, an internal Capitol Police intelligence report warned that Congress could be targeted by a mob of Trump supporters in the coming days. Later that day, then-U.S. Capitol Police Chief Steven Sund began to worry about the growing number of protestors expected to attend the "Stop the Steal" rally.

Most of us know what happened next.

The morning of Jan. 6, Trump supporters migrated towards the White House. Then-President Donald Trump gave a speech in which he repeated false claims about a stolen election and urged his supporters to march to the Capitol where Congress was confirming Joe Biden's victory.

They did. Thousands of them.

A year later, many of us are still trying to understand what went wrong in the immediate response to the Jan. 6 riot — and what's been done to make sure another attack won't happen.

If you were asked to describe all the different emotions you've felt in the last year, what would you say?

You might say you've felt fear or worry. Maybe you'd recall moments of joy and wonder or disappointment and frustration. But even if you said all of these, you'd still probably be overlooking more than a few others.

How we feel shapes our lives, but most of us have limited language to describe what we're feeling. This limitation is the focus of Brené Brown's new book, "Atlas of The Heart: Mapping Meaningful Connection and The Language of Human Experience."

We talk to her about her new book.
