Prof. Kevin Elliott from Murray State University has recently written a book titled ‘Democracy for Busy People’, that focuses on building institutions that empower people who have little time for politics. See here 📚 ow.ly/AgPP50QjIqf

They don't have a majority. They have two minority parties who don't like each other but have agreed to caucus together. All of America suffers because they cannot govern, nor cede control to those who will.

Those who seek social change have three options. 1. Focus on interventions with direct effects (i.e. feeding people) 2. Continue with systems-conserving change but give up expectations of large effects or the ability to identify effective interventions in advance 4/
Systems-conserving interventions (those that change one factor while leaving the remaining social structure intact) are unlikely to bring about meaningful benefits. 5/
This has important implications for social change. 4/
At least when it comes to the type of limited-scope interventions evaluated via RCT, the social world is full of stabilizing forces that resist change. And causal processes are complex and context dependent, meaning success in one place will be hard to replicate in another. 3/
While this might be disappointing from the perspective of trying to engineer change, I argue it teaches us something important about the structure of the social world. 2/
Republican voters can think complex thoughts like "fascism is fine if my taxes go down"
