243: The Far-Right is Rising - Part IV: The Mainstreaming of Extremism with Garrett Graff

In the final episode of “The Far-Right is Rising”, host Reed Galen is again joined by Garrett Graff, a journalist, historian, and host of Long Shadow: Rise of the American Far Right. In part two of a two-part conversation, they discuss how the American far-right extremist movement went from being on the fringe to being accepted by the mainstream, how political violence and its associative rhetoric has become frighteningly more common (and acceptable), and why this moment in American politics is so pivotal.
