Losers’ Consent: How do we stabilize our democracy?
www.youtube.com

The insurrection at the U.S. Capitol on January 6 was not an isolated incident. Instead, it marked the culmination of the ongoing degradation of our political culture.

R Street Institute looks at what can be done to reverse this trend and develop a healthier political culture?
