America’s first contested election was in 1800 and shit was only getting started... Political Scientist and world-renowned expert/professor/author, James Morone, brings his incisive analysis the current tribalism of American politics and walks through over 250 years of partisan discord our young country has displayed. Race and immigration are two things that have always been at the core of decision making in America, and clearly that still rages today. As Morone says: "Partisanship is not a fever. It’s what democracies do.” Join Adam and Professor Morone as they dig through the past to find answers for our splintering present.
