“In today’s episode, Dr. Jaime Hoerricks argues that the American political system, particularly at the state level, has become increasingly corrupt and undemocratic. They use Ohio’s recent passage of SB104, a ‘trans bathroom ban’ attached to a larger bill, as an example of this trend. This tactic of slipping controversial measures into broader legislation is a calculated way for lawmakers to avoid accountability and public scrutiny. Dr. Hoerricks contends that this method is not limited to cultural wedge issues and can be observed in the realm of economic policy as well, where corporate interests manipulate the system for their gain. By examining the passage of SB104 and other examples, the author suggests that this trend poses a significant threat to individual rights and democracy, particularly for marginalised communities such as transgender individuals.”
