As you know, I’ve been reasonably positive about the aftermath of the midterms (on presidential power here, on prospects for the Trump agenda here). America does not have a parliamentary system. The President’s power is intact, as it was for Reagan, Clinton, and Obama. Stuff’s going to get done.

But there’s one harm that could prove irreparable. We have to stop it or lose the Republic. And it’s very possible that no one in Washington can do anything about it.

The meteor hurtling toward us to kill us all is called the National Popular Vote Compact, or NPV. Democrats desperately want to do away with the Electoral College, because it spreads influence across states they can’t control and dilutes the power of their big city machines. But amending the Constitution is a non-starter.

So whatever is a socialist to do?
