“in the long run youd end up with a much more conservative senate (meaning theyd want a difused governemtn where more power in the hands of the states, than the federal central government)”
What makes you think that? Democrats in state legislatures love federal power.
What makes you think Democrats in STATE legislatures would want to GIVE UP power that belongs to them to the Feds..? Yeah they’re the party of treason, but THEIR OWN SELF INTEREST would rule in most cases that they would like their state to keep power, not give it away (smaller government WAS built into the system).
