Why do Michigan Republicans hate democracy?

Before answering, you need to listen to this expose of the level of gerrymandering Republicans have used in Michigan to render their landslide loss in the 2012 elections a win, their disdain of a ballot initiative defeating their hated emergency manager law, and their insistence that in cash-strapped towns and cities, only dictatorship can solve the problems. Something very ugly is afoot in Michigan and it needs to be stopped. It’s underway in lots of other Republican dominated states as well, the gerrymandering, the attempts to rig elections so heads we win, tails you lose. But Michigan should stand as a clear warning of just how far they will go to force an electorate to accept “My way of the highway.”
