“Rural voters are overrepresented in the United States. They always have been and – barring the highly unlikely termination of the US Senate – always will be. For suburban and urban voters, the diluting of their votes is bad enough. Far worse are the apologists who try to gaslight the rest of the nation into believing that the inflated voting power of rural voters, especially rural Whites, is justified."
~ Ibid., p. 89
