While searching for demographics intel, I came across several works pushing a false theme about so-called minority rule. Of course, the writers have chosen the phrase "minority rule" to imply an apartheid vibe.
The problem with their narrative, like almost all narratives pushed by establishment media, is that it is thoroughly false. The Establishment Media propagandists who write such things, though no doubt they believe fully in what they write, simply lack understanding of the design of Congress as put forth by the founders as well as the wicked changes that have wrecked that design.
The false narrative whine goes something like this:
Philip Bump of the Washington Post goes so far to write about "possible anti-democratic effects of the lopsided Senate" and "the House and the Senate will be weighted to two largely different Americas" (see: In about 20 years, half the population will live in eight states).
As well, Mara Liasson of NPR peddles the false narrative in Democrats Increasingly Say American Democracy Is Sliding Toward Minority Rule. In her work of deception, Liasson peddles this lie:
The American political tradition enshrines majority rule, with rights for the minority. But some wonder whether the United States is sliding toward minority rule.
A bit further into her whine, she parrots the narrative mantra:
By 2040, if population trends continue, 70% of Americans will be represented by just 30 senators, and 30% of Americans by 70 senators.
Disabusing You from the Propagandists
In a work of mine from 2015, I showed how the problem is the lack of representation in the House (see: The Biggest Lie Almost All Americans Believe: Americans Have a Representative Democracy). This lack of representation came because Congress passed a bill to freeze popular representation in the House.
To quote myself:
When the founders designed the United States of America with the second constitution, the founders wanted Americans to have popular representation and states' legislatures to have representation. To give Americans popular representation, they created the House of Representatives. To give states legislatures representation, they created the Senate.
The founders designed the House of Congress to have ever-growing membership to reflect the growing population. Yet, by 1920, Congress froze membership of the House to a permanent 435. So doing wrecked the design of founders.
They intended for us to have representative democracy. In the face of a growing population with a fixed number of representatives, population representation has fallen to the point that Americans lack representation.
You ought to read the article here on the True Dollar Journal if for nothing else but to see the maps that show how you lack any representation at all.
No doubt liberal progressives, CEOs and many billionaires who see such a design of the Senate as a impediment will push for change. That would take a constitutional amendment. Hopefully, that will not happen, ever.
