Don't forget, those senators translate to electoral college votes.
Diddnt they cap the amount of house of representatives?
Them plus the house reps, which are artificially capped at a low number, again benefitting the low population states
Can we get 25 million volunteers to move proportionally to red states for the next few years?
I moved to a red state. Absolutely awful. Don’t do it. Texas is an irremediable shit hole.

Half a million movers per month would both wreck California and rural states real quick.
Also Cali would turn red quickly. I don't think our voter numbers show the true story. There are a lot of MAGA crazies in CA. I just doubt they bother voting atm because they know it's pointless.

Disingenuous. That's 21 states and 42 senators.
Now do representatives, which was originally supposed to match population distribution.
Alaska and Hawaii.
Not sure why Hawaii is included in this meme. Hawaii has only had 1 Republican senator since it became a state in 1959.
