There is little to no representation in the US Republic for any minority viewpoint. There is nothing but winner take all and suppressive denial of the minority. This may sound like a harsh judgement but in fact it has become the very nature of a country built on a concept of the good nature and joint ideals of a not so diverse populace. This type of Republic set forth by the founders has created an evil and terrible menace upon the people of the United States. It has set them up for continual conflict and division. Nobody that votes against the majority in their area has any representation of their idea of freedom, values or views.

I have for the majority of my adult life been in an area that votes approximately 20% for one party while the 80% win every election and set every policy based on their viewpoint regardless of the 20% needs, values or requirements. I have by this fact never had a political viewpoint of mine represented in the US government. It is this type of government that has all but destroyed the notion of democracy in the United States. It is a tyranny of the winner against the minority view. There is no reason for the majority to listen or acquiesce to the need of the minority. There is no proportional voice for the minority voters. The winners get the only voice and all decisions.

This phenomenon is true down to the smallest level of political office in US politics. It has become even more acute as the ruling parties change the rules locally to support themselves (i.e. gerrymandering of districts to support their party’s dominance) and as an example the US Senate to only require a simple majority for most votes. They therefore, do not have to listen to the minority at all to decide judicial direction as well as legislative direction. This winner take all has led to a Civil War as well as several destructive periods in US civil life. One of which is currently appearing to be driven towards becoming almost fatal to the Republic.

The United States are in fact no longer united. It has become so factional and to a point almost directly in half that it has created a volatile scenario of us versus them. The left-right political spectrum has become defined in a prismatic division of clear political loyalty lines with unclear definition of policy. President Trump in his efforts to stay in power has create an even higher level of division with his voter fraud stranglehold on one of the more powerful US political parties. All aligned political thought, actions and funding of this party is driving towards the goal of remaining in power despite the loss at the polls by claiming fraud and dishonesty of the opposition thereby creating a disenfranchisement of voter’s good political sportsmanship. The power in the US is absolute either win the election or have no voice is the nature of the American political system.

The struggle for a political view to win in this all or nothing US Republic is no less than having the ability, as in the French Revolution, to cut the King’s head off or be vanquished then imprisoned by a state. A state that does not look at you as a valuable contributor to society but rather as a danger to it.

So as with the original colonies and depicted in the 1745 Benjamin Franklin cartoon of a snake cut into colonial segments, the colonies had to unite to express its political view against the British King and parliament or die . So too does political thought in the US have to align to win representation in the US or die with no political power to have it’s viewpoint affect the political nature of the United States.

The Founding Fathers had no idea of the flawed corrupting system they created . Their political viewpoints though varied in nature were united in the creation of a new country. They were united in the common history of the struggle to leave the United Kingdom. They were united in a extremely similar ethnic, religious and social viewpoint. Something that has not been the case in an America of the 20th and 21st Centuries that has seen decades of migratory, social and financial class dilution.

This dilution has pushed political thought in America to review and compensate because of the social upheaval caused by the political majority’s ignoring the issues faced by the diverse population. In some cases, a political party can ignore the viewpoint because of their political power and face civil unrest and in others they can enjoin the political viewpoints to link up the body of the snake so that a particular party can win and rule.

This linking of the political viewpoint snake to win political representation is often thought to be a democratic process but it is not. It is worse, as the larger of the parties very often ignores the representation of political viewpoints of the political viewpoint allies. The ally’s political viewpoint gains no voice in the government directly and must remain subordinate to have any hope of influencing the viewpoint narrative. This is not a democracy but a political view dictatorship without consequences for the ruling party. There is little or no repercussions for the dominant party ignoring the minorities political views. The ally political view can be quickly disavowed and disenfranchised if it comes under attack by the opposition. No vote needs to be won or lost to affect any change during a party’s term in power of their singular viewpoint being presented into governing. There is no coalition, oversight or balance required to maintain a varied political view of all those represented during governance.

This failure to represent the political views of the entire nation has fragmented US politics very similarly to the pre-World War II Weimar Republic. The Germans solved this political viewpoint problem when they formed their government after WWII. They did not follow the American system created by the US founders of a winner take all system that required extremely strong political parties. This is what they had and failed miserably in the 1930s. Germany formed a coalition style government. This allows political parties with more than 5% of the vote to have an direct representation of their viewpoint in the government. The individual voter gets true proportional representation. The larger party cannot ignore the viewpoints of the smaller parties and with it the viewpoints of the people who voted for them if the lager party needs the party to create the larger united snake to rule.

Without true representation, each American finds that he suffers from no representation by this Congressman, Senator, Governor or President. The large American parties have become de facto kings, who are fighting over a crown. They fail to represent the political viewpoints fairly and diversely enough to truely represent the people in the US. The voters have limited choices of two kings to represent their viewpoints. This becomes similar to the War of the Roses in English history. The two kings fight and fail to govern until one is vanquished and the opponents slain. This is not Democracy but political viewpoint Autocracy in the US. It is time to change the US to a representative Republic before it dies.
