Ryan Busse is a Democratic candidate for governor of Montana and the author of Gunfight: My Battle Against the Industry That Radicalized America. We discuss how Montana is a bulwark against anti-democratic forces and how Ryan cuts through the politi-speak on the campaign trail.\\xa0

It\'s important for Democrats to identify with the basic democratic freedom values of the vast majority of people, whether that\\u2019s fair taxes on homeowners or reproductive freedom. Ryan argues that a vibrant democracy depends on both small d democratic values being represented and big D Democratic victories at the ballot box. The stakes are high to elect a pro-democracy governor in Montana. Montana is a bulwark in a sea of red state legislatures. Ryan says, \\u201cNorth Dakota and South Dakota used to have two Democratic senators and Democratic governors. Now there\'s not a single statewide elected Democrat in North Dakota, South Dakota, Wyoming, Idaho, and there\'s only one left in Montana, Jon Tester.\\u201d\\xa0
