Hi. Welcome to Estate Sale. Brad here, trying to process last week’s insurrection, or what some people are calling a “self coup.” Whatever the name, it continues to take a toll on all of us as we await the Biden administration and some semblance of sanity. To make some sense of what happened, I decided to talk to another historian friend. Dr. Lance Janda is the chair of the Social Science department at Cameron University, and someone I met on my first day as a Phd Student at the university of Oklahoma. In this episode, we attempt to place last week’s riots in some kind of historical context and take a stab at the major forces at work.
