Rethinking our Union

[black dog]

Population density doesn't matter. We are not a democracy, we are a representative republic. As in ALL Americans should have a voice, not just the ones who cluster and live on top of each other.

I can't state it any clearer than that.

Our Constitution was set up brilliantly to accomplish this, and we've allowed politicians (mostly Democrat ones, and you can't deny that) to destroy it to gobble up power and take it away from We the People.

Bestist post you you've ever posted.
Well done.

Stop, we sent The French home once.
The Kings English stopped here then.

Population density absolutely does matter. Since the number of legislative districts (federal, state, & local) are fixed and each of them must contain approximately the same number of people. Whether we’re a “democracy” or “representative republic” is irrelevant. All legislators (federal, state, & local) must each represent approximately the same number of constituents. That is why a big state, like Wyoming, has one member of the House of Reps and a small state, like Maryland, has eight members of the House of Reps. The one exception to this is the U.S. Senate where each state gets two senators regardless of population.

Simple solution.

Turn all the blue voters into Soylent Green and spare parts for the medical community and the problem will sort itself out.

So if all those Dems move out of the city you don't expect them to change do you? I've seen you post about what California expats are doing to TX and AZ.

I don't want them to move at all. I want people outside the metro areas to have congressional representation and a voice in our government.

These progs think that we will give them food, water, and energy in exchange for their movies and smarmy commentary about how racist we all are. Yep.

What I'm saying is that one large metropolitan area shouldn't dictate the whole state, because their needs and concerns aren't the same.

In Maryland, for example, the dictates of Baltimore and the DC metro set the agenda for places like SM and Calvert Counties and Western MD that have nothing to do with those urban areas.

View attachment 162404

All those people in the red areas aren't represented in their state government. Then they get gerrymandered even further and now it's like they don't even exist. That happened in 6D when they gerrymandered it to dig into Montgomery County and turn it blue by disenfranchising all those people in Garrett, Allegany, Frederick, and Washington Counties. In fact, in 2014 John Delaney barely beat Dan Bongino for the House and he only won one single county - Montgomery. Bongino won the rest. That's a true story, you can look it up.

That gerrymandering scheme went to the Supremes, who said, "Meh, that's a state issue." And because the Democrats had a lock on the state, the disenfranchisement stood. So since then folks in rural Garrett County have been ruled by guys from DC, and in effect have no representation in either their state or federal government. That hardly seems American to me.

Hence their interest in seceding to join WV. The LOCK on Annapolis will guarantee more creative schemes to drive out conservatives, welcome illegals, saturate the schools with leftist curriculum, silence critics, and intimidate entreprennuers like DC did to that Restaurant and NJ did to that gym. Any resistance to their agenda must be met with quick oppressive action and poverty. Liberals actually are just very clever Fascists and its 1938.

Sure, let's build a fence around Hawaii to go with their interstate highways.

We should have sold Hawaii to the Japanese back when they were flush.

Lol, thanks. They would Succeed if the did Secede!

Libs can't live without Republicans. Republican's have the jobs and pay the taxes to support the freeloaders. And while they are at it, the Libs get all the illegal invaders too.

Oh please, the GOP is tearing itself to shreds. You really think if you got rid of all the Dems the GOP wouldn’t split into at least two parties? The Romney/Cheney/McConnell caucus and the rest?

Having a majority in the House and Senate soon will be a consolation.

Yeah apparently having three or four leftist *******s mixed in with hundreds of other conservatives is “tearing itself apart.”
