The Problem Isn't State and Local Politics

Nick Gillespie: I don't think there's any going back to a focus on state and local politics. He says voter suppression at the state level is reminiscent of Jim Crow based voter suppression. However, the politics are very different with national politics happening through subnational institutions., he says. The rise of January 6 insurrection against multiracial democracy really shows us that to diffuse this sort of white nationalist and white identity politics would be good too,. writes Gillespie.
