People act like this is new...
It's the same reason they keep ranting about "cities want to tell you how to live" and defending the electoral college.
They've never wanted democracy, because they're out numbered. They only have that power they do through disproportionate representation.
What I always like to do is point out that Republicans are about "picking our bosses who will make hard decisions we might not like" vs "doing what the majority wants".
I think a good government could use a little of both. But "majority wants" should be 99% of the laws, with only 1% being "hard, unpopular decisions". Republicans prefer 100% "unpopular decisions"
