These weasels know that the urban masses are ignorant, and choose to ignore the wise words of our founding fathers about democracy being the weakest form of government.

Representative republic all the way baby!

The Democrats truly want to destroy our Constitutional Republic. This ploy dovetails with their incessant cry of "Every vote counts". They will use the fallacious argument that with the Electoral College if your guy/gal doesn't win, then your vote didn't count.

With the courts ruling across the country in seemingly "liberal lockstep", the Electoral College is one of the greatest bastions in the preservation of our Great Republic.

Unfortunately, today, nothing is taught in civics or social studies classes about the fact that we are a Republic and not a Democracy and why the difference matters.

Fortunately in this event we are not dependent upon these weasels and the ignorant masses for our protection. Said proposed ammendment will not make it through both houses of congress. All it will take is 1/3 + 1 vote in either house to oppose it. Even were it to pass both houses by the requisite 2/3 majority, it would then need 3/4 of the state legislatures to ratify if. About 1/3 of the red-states alone would be sufficient to stop it.
