"This Will Be the Most Violent Election of Our Lifetime” - Robert Pape (Video)

In this 24 September 2026 published Modern Wisdom video, host Chris Williamson talks with Robert Pape, a political scientist, professor at the University of Chicago, and author.
Why is political violence on the rise in America? With the midterm elections approaching, could this be one of the most consequential elections of our lifetime? What’s driving the hostility, what’s actually at stake, and how could the outcome shape America for years to come?
Expect to learn why we’ve entered into a new era of violent populism, why January 6, 2027, will be a major breaking point for both political parties, why the upcoming midterms might be the most dangerous election of our lifetimes, how normal people become radicalised on both sides of the spectrum, why Trump is at the center of political violence for both the left and right, and more.
