$Political Polarization: It\u2019s Ugly, and There\u2019s No End in Sight$

Join Professor and KCCI-TV political analyst Dennis Goldford, for a presentation on the polarizing state of politics and how we got here.
American politics has entered a troubling if not potentially dangerous era that erupted in the 2020 elections, but this era did not begin and will not end with the Trump presidency. Why? This presentation will discuss the major factors that have led to our current political conflicts and the challenges we now face.
