After the 2016 election, Republicans had their largest majority in the states since 1928, controlling legislative chambers in thirty-two states and governor offices in thirty-three. They also held both chambers of Congress and the presidency despite losing the popular vote. What happened? Meaghan Winter shows how the Democratic Party and left-leaning political establishment have spent the past several decades betting it all on the very risky and increasingly foolhardy strategy of abandoning the states to focus on federal races. For the American public, the fallout has been catastrophic. At the behest of their corporate patrons, Republican lawmakers have diminished employee protections and healthcare access and thwarted action on climate change. Voting rights are being dismantled, and even the mildest gun safety measures are being blocked. Taking us to three key battlegrounds--in Missouri, Florida, and Colorado--Winter reveals that robust state and local politics are the lifeblood of democracy and the only lasting building block of political power."-- Provided by publisher. 650 0 $a U.S. states $x Politics and government $y 21st century. 651 0 $a United States $x Politics and government $y 21st century. 650 0 $a Political participation $z United States. $9 204745 650 0 $a State governments $z United States. 610 20 $a Democratic Party (U.S.) $9 63603 650 0 $a Progressivism (United States politics) $9 234735 650 0 $a Conservatism $z United States. $9 203403 941 $a 1 952 $l FXPH314 $d 20220909055522.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=41E78842300611EDA406B4E81FECA4DB 994 $a C0 $b KAYInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
