Electoral system under attack

Our wise founders set up an election system to protect those who live in the less populated areas of the country. Our land is governed as a Democratic Republic, not a democracy, contrary to what some politicians spout during the presidential campaign. First, our people elect their representatives to govern them, called congress, where laws are made. Second, we have the executive branch, chief administrator, the president. Third, we have the less powerful branch, the Supreme Court.  Justices are appointed by the president and approved by the peoples’ Senate.  They only give opinions on whether the laws meet the criteria of the Constitution, they don’t make law.

This was wisely done to protect the 95 percent of the land mass populous. The less dense states were given protection from large city domination. These cities consist of an electorate with a high percentage of takers, welfare recipients, criminals and illegals who pay no tax at all, voting themselves a never ending paycheck of welfare and assistance.

This nation’s wealth comes from the less populated areas with natural resources providing food. These productive folks were granted equal representation in their governing.

There is no need to change the system now after 240 years of success. Just because a socialistic candidate was rejected is not a good reason to undo a proven, time-honored system. Out here on the land, common sense intelligent people believe that if they don’t work, when they are able, they won’t eat. These folks were referred to in the campaign as “irredeemable” and “deplorable,” and have made their voices known.

Now some lamenting state funded, participation trophy holding pampered university students, protest in the streets and on the interstate highway. The result has been that some of these young adult leaders of our future, are under special care for trauma, in padded rooms given coloring books and playdough, attempting to soothe their tender feelings. All the protesting, crying and complaining doesn’t change the outcome. They blame their election failure on the “proven system” rather than on the flawed candidate they wanted as dictator.

It’s high time now to “suck it up buttercup” and move on within our protected borders, bringing this country back to work, back to its basis roots of decency and self-determination while embracing the capitalist system that made this country great.
