The Lawfare Podcast: The Tyranny of the Minority with Steven Levitsky and Daniel Ziblatt

How did American democracy fall so far behind, and more importantly, what can we do about it? Lawfare Managing Editor Tyler McBrien spoke with Steven Levitsky and Daniel Ziblatt, authors of the new book, Tyranny of the Minority: Why American Democracy Reached the Breaking Point, to answer these questions about our ailing democracy. They discussed the diagnoses and prescriptions of this breaking point, the most damaging counter-majoritarian features of the U.S. constitution, and why constitutional and electoral reform is so damn difficult in the US—but not impossible. They also got into how the Republican Party went off the rails.
