The Doomsday Scenario of Minority Rule In America


After writing my article about Twitter and Elon Musk, I came across a post from journalist and author Garret Graff's newsletter all about the "doomsday scenario" of how a portion of the GOP has been leading America toward a reality of minority rule, where the majority opinions of the people no longer matter and fringe players control all of the political power through gerrymanders and other dishonest practices. In the article, which I highly recommend reading in its entirety, Graff paints a sobering picture of what the next American Civil War might look like and observes:

"It seems likely that the US media would have a better understanding of how to cover this past year of American politics if it happened in another country."

Unfortunately, it is happening here and too many people and media aren't paying attention. In a follow up piece, he promises to share "the 12 coordinated and interlocking strategies the GOP is using to enshrine this minority rule." That will be a worthwhile read as well.
