    Everyone forgets about “of the people, for the people”. Half of Americans are getting exactly what they want.

      Less than half and always shrinking, but the assholes have always had a large enough majority to demand that the scales be tipped in their favor. Electoral college gives more weight to rural states, the Missouri Compromise extended empowerment of slavers. The assholes are always threatening to take their ball and go home, and they tried it in 1860.
