We at the Driftless Rivers Coalition are trying to redefine how the primary elections in the Driftless Area work. We are starting with 7 congressional districts along the Mississippi River that stretch from the Twin Cities to the Quad Cities. This podcast focuses on how white rural Christians have been duped into voting against their own best interests. It all started with the ubiquitous conservative radio talk show hosts, but it now has spread to "rage baiting" these voters on just about every social media platform.
