In about 20 years, half the population will live in eight states

It would seem like their goal for aMEricas future is a boot stamping on a human face - forever.

This has been a systematic effort lining up with the United Nation's Agenda 2030.

11.b By 2020, substantially increase the number of cities and human settlements adopting and implementing integrated policies and plans towards inclusion, resource efficiency, mitigation and adaptation to climate change, resilience to disasters, and develop and implement, in line with the Sendai Framework for Disaster Risk Reduction 2015-2030, holistic disaster risk management at all levels.

I can't stand when useless weasels drivel crap like "doctrine and workers unite" agendas. It's like they don't get their way in life so they have to try to shove their one-sided views/vision down our throats. Nice, does that mean we have to iron our little brown shorts and stomp around town kicking the shit out of everyone who does not agree with us? Little snot-bags....

So I guess in the next 20 years I will try to find a location outside of the 8 states with the majority of the population. I really cannot stand crowds; too close to sniveling douchebags and sweaty, smelly people make me claustrophobic.......LOL....

Good words Rita. As RCummings correctly noted above, avoiding crowds & those situations has much merit.

B52,

I'm glad my comment did not sound flippant. We are now far from the woods where we lived and have more of an opportunity to see "protests" if we cared. The Twin Cities seem to have folks not at work with the time to protest this or that.

Thats America,

Eh, no worries.

When they're not demonstrating they're looking through the Mnpls or Chicago craigslist for more employment opportunities. Back when the legislature here passed an act that would actually require teachers to pay something/anything for their health insurance there were several thousand demonstrators in the capitol. A few hundred from the local Univ (because, why not?) and others were made up of people earning some temp bucks, charter-bussed in from both those cities. When they'd gotten what they wanted from the news-cycle, they disappeared & went back home looking for another gig.

As I mentioned, the higher level orgs involved have the resources & don't mind throwing them around to repeat a lie du jour as often as they feel the need to.

After I read into the article and got to the portion where flyover country could hold the 8 large states in check I just chuckled. The Framers were absolutely brilliant guys!

The Electoral College might be the last wall of defense against the crazed hoard. The day it is removed the after effects will be like a swarm of locusts.

Ben Franklin once said. Democracy is two wolves and a sheep voting on what to eat for dinner. Liberty is a well armed sheep". Way back in the day the framers of the constitution debated at length on how to protect the small from the large. One solution ,as is the current construct, was to provide 2 Senators per state.

Without digging around on the bookshelf I believe those 2 senators were originally to be appointed by the state legislatures (and subject to their recall at the state's choosing). And you're right; there was much gnashing of teeth over that.

Many states have their own version of "flyover" country; 1 or 2 major metro hives who think they run the state (and sometimes do) with more rural/small-suburban towns in the actual bulk of the real estate. NY, IL, and CA are the shining examples of that (their biggest power centers aren't even the state capital). But many states have the same problem.
