States’ rights is one of the arguments we hear today to justify the G.O.P.‘s sweep in passing restrictive voting laws. But what does states’ rights actually mean? Where does the idea come from? And why is it that something the Democratic Party of the 1800’s argued for is now argued by the Republican Party of today?
Join host Ty Wycoff as he explores equality as a zero-sum game, the dark history behind states’ rights, and what one President did to take on the Ku Klux Klan.
