How do you lock in a minority worldview in America? You control the states. As our guest, democracy activist, author and professor, David Pepper tells us, “You win them. You gerrymander them. You suppress as many votes as you can, and then ram through your extremist agenda, and nobody can stop you.” We see it happening all over the country. This is how Republicans with unpopular opinions, who don’t speak for the majority of the people, continue to win. Democrats have been going along trying to win elections on ideas. Republicans know their ideas can’t win elections, so they’re playing an entirely different game, and if we want to beat them, we need to shift our strategy.
