“You get what you vote for...” is a valid assertion, assuming that the election is conducted fairly. Sadly, that is a big assumption. I live in a “one party” jurisdiction myself, and there always seems to be an errant box of ballots appearing just in the nick of time to re-elect the local Leftist. By creating urban enclaves they have long claimed as their fiefdoms, Democrats have come to successfully control states that have have otherwise conservative constituencies. The latest con is to “colonize” more rural districts via clandestine import of illegal aliens. The corrosive nature of machine politics will not be undone by elections alone.
