Sharing sobering stories of the lawlessness and dysfunction he witnessed in his investigations into Charlottesville and January 6, Heaphy identifies structural barriers that stack the odds against our being able to return compromise and civility to American politics. And yet, the irony of this division is that it is inconsistent with the fact that Americans share so many fundamental priorities. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eHeaphy argues we can't rely on elected officials, individual heroes, the court system, or any other outside source to mend what's broken in America. There is no cavalry coming; we are the cavalry, and we must find ways to promote community over division with fellow citizens who do not necessarily share our politics. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eBalancing practical considerations with defiant hopefulness, Heaphy provides readers with a treatise for how we can empower ourselves and others to heal our communities.\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eTimothy J.
