On this episode of Reaganism, host Roger Zakheim sits down with Matt Continetti, an acclaimed historian of the right, to discuss his latest piece in the Free Press, on the assassination of Charlie Kirk and the decline of America’s civic character. Roger and Matt discuss the deepening political and cultural divide in America, highlighted by the assassination of Kirk. Matt expresses concern over the reactions to Kirk’s death, noting a troubling trend of political violence and the left’s misunderstanding of the right. They explore the idea of America becoming two nations, divided not only by politics but also by culture, lifestyle, and epistemology. Matt argues that the right understands the left better due to the left’s dominance in cultural institutions. They also discuss the role of political leaders and the need for a collective cultural effort to bridge the divide and reaffirm American principles.
