Episode #5 Legitimacy, Governing and Riots

On today's episode Mr. Palumbo dives into the study of statecraft and how all leaders require this thing called legitimacy. The more legitimacy one has the more secure his or her power can be, but the reverse is also true. A lack of legitimacy can weaken a leader and destabilize a nation. What do the riots in the summer of 2020 and the Capitol riot of Jan 6th both have in common? Mr. Palumbo thinks it has something to do with the continual assault on our political leaders and institutions.
