The Progs over a period of decades stole America. Cheating was obvious and no one paid attention or if they said anything were muted. The infection is in state, local and city entities and all road, bridge, and infrastructure authorities. If the electoral college is abolished most likely the Republicans will never win again or win when it hits the fan leaving little room for maneuver. The Tea party was an attempt to forestall this, and they were infected, dismantled and destroyed. The founding fathers did checks and balances on purpose. No one else had it. We took away few of them. Weakened the state's power. Abortion is more than what we spew about. A strong federal government is preferred by a good percentage of the population with a weaker state power. Revenue sharing and other goodies was instituted for this reason as the Federal government could deny the states any resources if they did not aide from their decisions. On top of it the federal government could provide resources to communities in states to enlarge their voting bloc. Atlanta, Ga. is a perfect example of it.
