As is the case in most countries, including here in the US, cities are not representative of the traditional culture, morals, and politics of the folks who inhabit the heartland. Look at Paris, London, New York, San Francisco, Brussels, Berlin……all liberal strongholds with booming immigrant populations. Amazing that the Founding Fathers predicted cities would become too powerful a voting bloc and sought to limit that power with safeguards like the Electoral College. Unfortunately, land ownership was eliminated as a prerequisite, and now even the Electoral College faces criticism from the left. John Adams had it right, fearing that we would be governed by those with no skin in the game, or, worse, by men of power with the resources to coerce their votes.
