Americans mask:
Let us imagine a world free of lying malicious self-serving
preening treasonous politicians ... and their schemes.
Here’s an idea:
Every state gets 2 senators, as is the current model. These 2 senators are elected by people living in non-urban areas.
The three largest cities in each state get to elect a single senator who will (theoretically) focus on urban concerns for the entire state.
Rural areas are empowered.
Urban areas are weakened.
“It’s easy if you try…”
YESTER-YEAR - Magnificent Cities
TODAY - Democrat Plantations
It is sound strategy to encourage leftists to gather in the anthills aka big cities. Should CW-II actually come about, these places can be cut off from food, water, energy, and other supplies. When the locals start eating each other they won’t have time for CRT, communism and other failed ideology.
“CRT, communism and other failed ideology.”
No dystopian literature or ideas gives any of that a second thought. In a future wasteland, those would be some of the least useful things out there.
I’ve imagined this scenario before, and it is glorious. I live in one of the big cities ruining my state and am working on getting out.
I only hope that it can hold together another year or two so that I can make good on my escape.
“The mobs of great cities add just so much to support of pure government as sores do to the strength of the human body,” Jefferson wrote.
Big cities is where most of the democRATS are. Nuff said. /spit.
Exactly. I am a huge supporter of sanctuary cities, laws that protect criminals, junkies, “homeless” (urban campers).
It’s the flypaper effect. They draw society’s worst to limited areas, and keep them there, thus freeing up the rest of the country side, where decent people may live.
Not just the official city, but the entire metropolitan area. So Chicago would include 6 counties: Cook, DuPage, McHenry, Lake, Will and Kane. And there would be a few counties from Illinois that would go into metropolitan St. Louis. Illinois could become the Land Of Lincoln again.
Big cities have been destroying this country for a very long time.
Or we could simply repeal the 17th amendment and let the governors send Senators as state emissaries like they used to do.
In the Midwest, the opposite is happening - In the last census, rural counties are losing population to urban counties.
Big cities in the USA are a disaster. They are run by democrats, who populate them with unproductive people who are taken care of by the state, using money from the productive people who don’t live in the cities.
The productive ones get out of the city as fast as possible out of fear for their lives.
“... thus freeing up the rest of the country side, where decent people may live.”
Until HUD or some other government entity gets the bright idea to create some program which will house them in the suburbs with the decent and working people (never in Martha’s Vineyard, Pacific Heights or similar affluent neighborhoods, though).
Those states would lose a major tax base. I have a house in Philly and if you include the school financing, parking system management, septa, food stamps, welfare, unemployment ins outflow, section 8 housing, Philly might be a net taker of taxes.
A better idea with state governments is to have an even number of state Senators for each county (usually 1 or 2). That distribution would blunt the outsized influence of the cities in the state legisl00tures.
