    I think the best counter would be to get money out of politics. These groups and massively wealthy individuals only have power because many politicians will do anything to get that money.

    Stop letting them buy influence. Make it hard to find a loophole. And actually punish people for violating campaign finance laws.

      With the way they’ve packed the courts, there’s virtually no chance of this happening any time soon.
