The Electoral College is a horrific anachronism and needs to go the way of "3/5th's of a person", "poll taxes", "land owning citizens only having the franchise" and other elements of the original, broken and outdated system in favor of a new system that understands times change, reality evolves and the concept of "small states" needing or receiving undue clout is neither healthy nor required for a functional country.
I am also sick to death of the idea that "urban" voters (ie. "non-whites"
and the Democratic Party need to "understand" the angst of the "rural" voters (ie. "whites" . There is nothing to "understand" when people are unwilling to observe reality, unable to tell fact from fiction and are too petulant to admit that their fears of inadequacy are only cover for their inherently racist hearts and patterns of behavior. You do not change the rotten core of somethings and you do not justify amoral behaviors and beliefs to be polite and well-liked...you speak truth to power and idiots the same.
This country is heading to reckoning and a second Civil War, the outcome of which will not be a unified, single country but three adversarial ones - East, Central and West. The East and the West will have a hard time maintaining a contiguous land border, but perhaps one may emerge along the northern border (the Gulf Coast is a total loss). Personally, I like the West Coast...the people, the geography, the climate (for a few more years anyway), so I will try to relocate there before the war(s) and before I have to apply for entry or asylum from the hell hole that will become the Central States of America. The East Coast is also nice, but more congested and crowded in general...although it would easily be my "plan B" over staying in the CSA long term.
When the fighting starts again, those on the side of rational thought and modernity will have to accept the fact that sometimes the herd must be culled for the good of the many. The population centers and larger urban areas will either join together to combat the forces of idiocy that currently hold sway, or they will fall and become "former population centers"...ultimately, there is not a viable country that includes acquiescing to the whims of the morons that have elected Trump.
RIP America
