Big cities move to control and bully Rural America
WHY THE NATIONAL POPULAR VOTE INTERSTATE COMPACT, TO CHEAT THE ELECTORAL COLLEGE, WILL LEAD TO THE BREAK-UP OF AMERICA, OR WORSE.
Just five cities could control the fate of America.
Currently, there's a far-left movement called the National Popular Vote Interstate Compact. Under this deal, states that sign on would agree to give their state presidential electors to whatever candidate wins the national popular vote — even if that candidate loses the state.
Radical Left Domination: The compact, which has 15 blue states and the District of Columbia on board, would become effective only after gaining enough states to equal 270 votes — or a majority of the Electoral College, the same number required to elect a president. As of this month legislatures in 15 states plus the District of Columbia have pledged to join the compact. They represent 196 electoral votes, meaning they need 74 more to put the compact in action. They're now just 74 Electoral College votes short. Why is this so important? The Electoral College has kept Big Cities from bullying and pushing around the Rural States.
Along with the Senate, in which each state gets two senators regardless of size (and Democrats want to get rid of that, too), the Electoral College gives Rural states a voice. By the way, many of those rural states are traditionalist, small-town oriented, conservative and Republican. Red States, in short. Getting rid of the Electoral College would give Blue States political domination over Red States. Democrats don't give a hoot about "democracy." What they care about is power. And eliminating the Electoral College or circumventing it altogether would give Democrats that. Under their vision, the 50 states would fade away in terms of power and autonomy. They would merely be geographical descriptions, beholden entirely to the federal government. This kind of "democracy" means states like California and New York, with their huge, dysfunctional cities and large Democratic majorities, would become in effect geographical dictators to the rest of us. It would also result in more power residing in a corrupt centralized government.
The Radical Left of America: Imagine a semi-permanent class of rulers in Washington, D.C. with power over all Americans, but operating only in the interests of a Radical agenda. It would eventually lead to a loss of personal rights and, almost certainly, a rewriting of the Bill of Rights to end our freedom as we know it. That anyone seriously entertains this idea is shocking and a testament to the decline of public education in America. It also shows just how far left the Democratic Party has swung. This kind of extremism is now Democratic Party mainstream thought. Tinkering with the Electoral College risks the greatest political success story in human history, the United States of America. America's election system has operated smoothly for more than 243 years because the Electoral College accomplishes its intended purpose. America's presidential election process preserves federalism, grants definitive electoral outcomes, and prevents tyrannical or unreasonable rule. The Founding Fathers created a stable and carefully designed system that works.
Wisdom of the Founding Fathers: In creating the Electoral College, the Founders very carefully and intentionally kept us from having a pure democracy. Why? Pure democracy amounts to mob rule. Get a 51% majority for anything, and it becomes law. Such countries, the Founders knew from study of history, inevitably led to chaos and collapse. No Electoral College? Some states might hate losing their rights and autonomy so much that they decide to secede. The Left, which today cheers on far-left anti-Trump California when it says it might secede, would no doubt suddenly get very authoritarian about keeping Red States in the union. They're taxpayers, you see. Does anyone want another Civil war? We urge all Americans to oppose this awful idea. You won't create a greater democracy, as those who propose this plan suggest. In fact, you will surrender your
rights as a citizen and give the authoritarian far left a path to permanent power — a political disaster that would end our nation's successful 243-year run as the world's most successful republic.
