they just haven't figured out how to put the loud minority out of power again.

Koch Bros/John Birch Society and Moral Majority/ALEC were rumbling in the 1970s. The public soundly rejected their extremist ideals. They went underground - off the radar - and found ways to impose their will on everyone else via AFP, ALEC, et al. Our illustrious and criminal USSC, being occupied by at least a couple Tea Partiers and 5 conservatives - has helped them via Citizens United, gutting VRA etc.

That's where we are. But we don't have to stay here.
