Donald Trump just survived an assassination attempt at a campaign rally, irreversibly changing the state of U.S. politics. The incident produced images of a strong and defiant Trump, and it almost certainly produced a political climate more favorable for his reelection. Brian is joined by Eugene Puryear to consider how both elite parties will respond to growing political instability by further lurching to the right.

Eugene Puryear is an author and political organizer, and cohost of The Freedom Side LIVE, a live video show every Thursday from 3 p.m. to 5 p.m. Eastern on BreakThrough News.
