“We are looking at the simultaneous development of, on the one hand, the continuing transformation of insurgent attitudes, with millions or even tens of millions of people believing that political violence is the only way the United States can be rescued from conspiratorial forces trying to destroy the country, and, on the other hand, an ongoing effort to establish minority rule in the roughly half the states where legislative and procedural maneuvering are making it harder to vote and easier for partisan forces to influence which votes will be counted.”
“Culture war issues—from access to abortion and laws criminalizing protest to what is taught about racism in our schools and public health measures—are being used to foment resentment and resistance.”
