which most of us are spectators and the infamous swing states decide it all. And slivers of voters in those states.

For what it's worth, I'll repeat another number, indicative of the national polarization: Biden's 7 million margin in 2020 was from just two states: California's 5 million and New York's 2 million. The rest of the country was a wash.

Our national hazard isn't authoritarianism. It's paralysis and inaction. Hard to govern a federal system in which the majority of states are de facto one party states.
