  Red states want Russian and North Korean style elections where the preferred candidate gets 99% of the votes and the 1% have accidents involving windows.
context: This ruling will make it easier for states to overturn the will of the people enshrining minority rule. No wonder the republicans are for it >
  
  They never seem to miss an opportunity seize power for a minority of supporters. >
  
  They don't have a choice. 
  Democrats fight to win elections, while Republicans are now in a fight for survival as a political party.  
  At least, that's the perspective of a wide window of conservatives, who can't fathom the party adapting and diversifying.  It's ironic, given that when you dive into polling, people don't seem to hate their economics, but their everything else.  
  The irony being that if they just went in a more libertarian direction, away from their controlling tendencies and religious morals their actual policies might be popular.  They wouldn't need to establish minority rule.  
  They're just IMO lazy and lack faith in their own ideology. >
  
  Eliminating the checks and balances the founders enacted to protect democracy. Clearly wrong and clearly inline with the court's current trajectory. >
  
  Every check and balance they remove creates an exploit Democrats can also use.  
  That should be the new outlook on this. >
  
  This whole “independent state legislature theory” is just that, a theory dreamed up by the far-right Federalist Society. Let’s hope a thought experiment doesn’t end up destroying the country. >
  
  The same Federalist Society that placed 6 of the SC Justices.  It is truly terrifying how close we might be to literally losing any semblance of democracy in this country. >
  
  SCOTUS votes for this and they vote themselves right out of a job. There won’t be any need for them in the resulting government >
  
  Pageantry will always be part of the process
