This is a good post for USPOL because the guy on the left is literally blowing smoke up someone's rear end.

Oh, I don't know where I got that idea. It made sense in my head. Thanks!

The far-back basics are that when we were founded the little states were afraid that the big ones would dominate them in a population-based legislature and wouldn't go for it; and the big states didn't want their politics dominated by little shits who had a tenth of their size, so they didn't want equal representation. So as a compromise they said gently caress It, put both into place so everyone would be equally unhappy with the outcome and left it at that.

Now now, you can plainly see the offender jump and headbutt the Patriot's fists that he was holding up to defend himself.

You know eventually it will become a ritual.
At the start of each rally, they will perp walk a non-white or the tannest white guy (next to Donald for it is he) and everyone takes punches.

I clicked hoping that there was some kind of a scuffle, a single punch thrown back, anything to give the cops the barest fig leaf to arrest the black guy. Nooooooope, just good ol' boys arresting the troublemakers round those parts. Can I Arzy yet?

And then most states cargo-culted the bicameral system for their own governments because it's The American Way

I've been pouring through some zoomed-out shots of Trump rallies. In terms of diversity in attendance, there can reliably be an Asian attendee or two. I haven't found an African American man or woman who was not a speaker or one of the security guards.

If it makes you feel better, it is more representative of acreage than constituents, otherwise fully half of the legislature would come from within ~50 miles of the Missouri river.
