Only a matter of time. Migration destroys.

The Founders expected it. That’s why state governments are stronger than the federal government. It gives the opportunity for states, like California, to be warnings as to what happens when states go irretrievably left.

"Migration destroys"

Got any ideas on how to keep the fleeing crazed Californians confined to California? I'm all ears.

Of all the migrants anybody could name, the white domestic leftists are by far the biggest threat. They're coming from NYC, they're coming from Seattle, they're coming from other places as well and there's no end in sight, no relief on the horizon.

Democrats flee the places they have destroyed ...

Move to red states and turn them blue...

Colorado..invaded by Californians in the 1990s

Idaho....Arizona...Nevada....Texas Austin ...

Florida is about to turn blue...flooding in from every democratic state

If case you’ve never seen this story, it’s a worthy watch considering the treasonous voter fraud coup against DJT and the voters on 11/3/20.

A small town in 1946 feeling intimidated by local, corrupt politicians, especially concerning voting issues - took up arms against their aggressors & turned the tide for the community. The second amendment to the U.S. Constitution worked very well!

I think that when the surveys catch up (as do lease expirations, business office space rentals, etc....), we will see a trend in favor of de-urbanization

I've been having the same thoughts. I just hope it's not wishful thinking.

So Wyoming gets 3 electoral votes instead of 1.
And CA gets 55 instead of 53.

There’s nothing there to negate ochlocracy.

The first congress was 65 seats. We’re at 435.

When the house was 65 seats, those 2 senate seats for each state mattered in the EC.

Then the 17th Amendment took the states, and the US headlong into mob rule.

It takes a while for a democratic republic to devolve, but ochlocracy always wins. As does anacyclosis.

Yes, a republic can have too much democracy. And any republic that has any, will eventually have too much.

Never mind all the ‘migrants who will have voting rights’ being shipped into every Red state. Our beloved country is one step from the abyss.

I would do it - apportion the electoral votes of a state - by counting the winner-take-all results by county, then giving the POTUS candidates their share of the state’s electoral votes proportionate to their share of the counties.

Look at an electoral map of the 2016 or 2020 elections. We dominate the count by counties - not mere majority, but dominate.

Each county having a vote seems cumbersome tome. A more rational way is to allot each congressional district one vote which will go to the nominee who carries that district [instead of being lumped together with the entire state as winner takes all]. Then there are two more electoral votes per each state which are originally alloted due to the two senators per each state. Those two votes should go to the candidate who carried the entire state.

That doesn’t change the voting preference of the people moving. You will just see suburbia turning more blue with the outflux from the cities.

At some point in the very near future, elections will be decided by which side cheats more egregiously. And by “near future” I mean 2020.

The first Congress was 65 seats...but there were only 13 states, so only 26 Senators. So, yes, there are far more House seats (and thus far more EVs from the popular vote), but the number of Senate seats has gone up by a factor of nearly 4 - it didn’t stand still.

Hi there. Hows this for an idea: state “naturalization”. Cant vote for x years of living in the new state. That gives people time to listen and learn the ways of the home culture.

yes. im inclined to say the election was illegitimate simply because the 1st amendment was compromised. Vote recounts or not.
