"The GOP hasn't just gerrymandered its way out of the presidency, it's gerrymandered its way out of governance and the Beltway media has continually missed the story of just how extreme Republicans have become. Think about this, there's 435 seats in the House and some 30-40 GOP members of the secretive GOP "Freedom Caucus" (i.e. the crazy caucus) are demanding absolutism on their agenda. At best, that means lawmakers representing approximately nine percent of the population are demanding that lawmakers representing the other 90-plus percent of Americans bend to their will—on immigration, on abortion, on government funding priorities."
