Perilous Politics: America's Dangerous Divide
In 2020, facing its first pandemic in over 100 years, the US government implemented mandates to save the lives of the most vulnerable. However, the mandates quickly became politicized, and some Americans turned their rage and anger toward local government. Within months, a contentious election, followed by false claims of fraud and theft, added fuel to the political fires already spreading across the country. Now, election workers, school board members, county supervisors, and others are being targeted and threatened, leaving them and their families fearing for their lives.
In this CNN Special Report, CNN Senior National Correspondent Kyung Lah travels across the United States to meet people behind the anger and try to understand the fears that drive them to terrorize members of their local community. During the 10-month investigation, Lah spends time with local officials, including election officials who share their fear of constantly contending with death threats against them and their families. Some have had to go as far as arming themselves.
On the opposite side of this polarized debate, Lah examines what drives far-right groups to take on their communities. She sits down with activist Carlos Zapata, who led the successful recall of Leonard Moty, the Republican board member in Shasta County, California. Zapata's strategy was showcased in his documentary series and has become a model for activists around the country. As our nation heads into midterm elections, this special explores the climate of fear and rage tearing apart communities and perhaps imperiling American democracy.
