In this episode, Joanne Z. Tan shares her deeply personal story from the Cultural Revolution in China, where political passion turned neighbor against neighbor and left millions dead — including her own father and stepbrother’s mother. She draws chilling parallels to today’s America, where divisiveness threatens our democracy.
– Why unchecked political anger destroys nations from within
– Lessons from the Cultural Revolution that America must heed
– A call to resist hatred and violence across party lines
– How to see each other’s humanity in times of bitter division
This is a message of warning, but also of hope: no good comes out of violence. Each of us has the power to preserve our democracy by choosing civility, tolerance, and respect — by being our better angels.
