In Our Own Worst Enemies, Robert A. Pape argues that American democracy is at a precarious moment because the principal danger in this new phase will come not from a fringe militia group. Rooting his observations in both historical data and fascinating (and terrifying) original interviews with contemporary political actors, Pape shows that support for political violence against democratic institutions is now as likely to come from normal political activists with nice homes and 401(k)s as it is from the Proud Boys and the cast of sometimes-oddball characters who stormed the Capitol. He identifies the precursors to the current moment, explains why the old solutions are not working this time around, and articulates what is needed to safeguard democracy in this new age of violent populism.
For over two centuries, American democracy has depended on citizens' willingness to accept political differences and peaceful transitions of power. Our Own Worst Enemies tells us how we can return to those all-important norms.
