Prof. Robert Pape: WCPT 820 Interview
from Chew's Views with Richard Chew (Featured Interviews) Hosted by WCPT 820
Richard Chew is joined by Robert Pape, professor of political science at the University of Chicago and author of “The Escalation Trap” on Substack; his new book, “Our Own Worst Enemies: America in the Age of Violent Populism,” came out last Tuesday. The interview focused on political violence, the Iran war, and risks surrounding the upcoming election. Here are a few key points from the conversation: - Pape argued that political violence has become normalized, citing the use of force in domestic policy and international affairs. - He said the main dangers to November's election may arise after polls close, during vote counting and challenges to results. - He identified parallels with the 2020 election, including claims that elections are being manipulated; he also touched on Trump's “stand back and stand by” remark during the 2020 presidential debate and pardons for January 6 participants.
