Summary

Fables Of The Reconstruction: A Bunker mini-series for the 250th anniversary of the USA…  After Trump’s reign and his war on the pillars of American democracy are over, will America need a reboot, like after the Civil War? A new Reconstruction?  Today: Nothing reduces the America system to gridlock and vindictiveness like the polarised two-party system . And when Trump remade the Republicans into a self-radicalising personality cult, he made it worse. Is there any breaking out of the Democrat vs Republican vendetta? Casey Burgat , former congressional staffer turned politics professor at George Washington University, give Andrew Harrison a brisk education on what’s not working in US party politics… and what, surprisingly, is.   •  Don’t miss the other episodes of this three-part miniseries. • Want more on the politics of the USA?
