    they probably wouldn’t even try and hide it: they’d literally just come out and say the electoral college helps keep the democrats out and they’d vote for it

      Good point. It’ll likely take three words to get a lot of those people to flip: own the libs.

      Sometimes I forget how little value some people place in consistency of beliefs. Small government! Except ____. Ad nauseam.

      They already have these talking points. They used them when Hillary won the popular vote.

      Tyranny of the majority, nobody would have to listen to rural Americans ever again.

      It's all bullshit obviously. But it cut through to moderates last time it made the rounds. And these are swayable voters I'm talking about.
