Doug Pagitt and Dan Deitrich share excerpts from Monday's Vote Common Good event in Holland, Michigan to highlight the quiet heroes - most of whom are Republicans themselves - running against bullying MAGA extremists in local elections. West Michigan is just a microcosm of a national rise in aggressive, threatening, bullying tactics by the GOP in local elections for positions like school board and county commissioner.
