I’ve had some fun getting people to explain to me why rural states should be over represented. They commit so hard to the idea of protecting the rural minority from more populous areas, then ask them why other minorities shouldn’t be provided the same protection. Then they get mad.
One neat trick to ruin Thanksgiving!! Grandmothers hate it
For real, though, I try to avoid politics in the name of civility, but my dad can’t resist sometimes, so this is a nice end-around. However, it doesn’t really address the most likely retort, which is that ®'s will simply claim that minorities are already overprotected.
Although, I suppose one silver lining to come out of the must recent spat of Supreme Court decisions is that those limited bits of progress that had been made to protect marginalized communities are being stripped away, so any claims that those communities are already protected are much easier to directly refute.

I like that a lot. I think I’ll use it next holiday get together.

Stealing that.
