Sarah Longwell, author and The Bulwark contributor, has written a book called "How to Eat an Elephant: One Voter at a Time" that explores the future of American politics after Donald Trump. In a conversation with Andrew Weissmann, Longwell discusses her research on voter behavior and how Democrats can build a winning coalition in the post-Trump era. She argues that Democrats often rely too heavily on polls, which can dictate their strategy rather than listening to voters' concerns. Longwell's book also examines the right-wing media ecosystem and Trump's hold on his supporters. The conversation touches on various topics, including why Democrats struggle to connect with rural voters and how to build a pro-democracy coalition that can win elections. The Bulwark is promoting Longwell's book and has announced a tour featuring its contributors in October.
