Description
Why does it feel like no matter what happens in American politics, the Democrats still get their way?
When he left Congress in 2017, Jason Chaffetz still thought elections could save us. For generations, conservatives have hoped that freedom-loving congressional majorities could turn back the tide and restore America’s liberties and prosperity.
But now, he says, winning elections will not be enough.
Increasingly, the work of government is being done by people outside the government—unelected power brokers who are invisible to the American public but who pull the strings, set the agendas, create the incentives, and write the rules we must all live by. Using both government and non-governmental institutions, leftists have bypassed the legislative process to compel institutional compliance with partisan goals. The White House or the Congress may change hands, but the left remains in power.

In The Puppeteers, Chaffetz reveals who really leads our financial institutions, professional public employees, nonprofit organizations, labor unions, academia, and social and legacy media. Powerful interests have concluded that the real power now lies in the substructure of American government--the bureaucracy and its many linked and loyal private sector appendages.
Voting in the right leaders is no longer enough. To take back their country, the American people need to understand that they're in a new fight. But it's still a fight that's eminently winnable, and Chaffetz reveals the playbook.
