Minority rule, under which a majority of Americans can't have their policy preferences reflected in our laws, is anti-democratic. But it's the hallmark of the modern Republican Party. For decades, the GOP has trafficked in dog-whistle, white grievance politics to hold onto power without popular support for its policies.

From former President Richard Nixon's Southern Strategy, that sought to mobilize White voters by appealing to their racial fears, to former President Donald Trump's "Big Lie" about the 2020 election that would have invalidated the votes of millions of Black and Brown citizens across our country, disenfranchisement has been the name of the game for the Republican Party.
