On land conflicts, MAGA , and the frontier.
Journalist James Pogue talks to George and Alex about his book Chosen Country: A Rebellion in the West. The book concerns the events surrounding the 2016 armed occupation of the Oregon Malheur National Wildlife Refuge led by the rancher Ammon Bundy. We discuss:
Why were these 2016 events so important and so telling?
Is the Jacksonian concept of America still relevant?
Does knowing how these people think enable you to predict what Trump – or JD Vance – will do?
How is Mormonism the encapsulation of a certain America?
Is the division on the Right about 'winners' versus 'losers' (or lost-causers)?
Is this story also America First versus Globalists?
How unique is the US's forms of political polarisation?
