On top of that, if it's a remote job and they're not all congregated in one room, harder to have a Jan. 6 type moment. Better for national security.

Jesus Christ, I'd honestly forgotten about the uncap the house movement, but it reminds me of all the shit we're missing out on. We'd be a different country. Imagine knowing your congressperson personally? Seeing them at the grocery store. Being able to to speak to them. Hell, imagine from their point of view, being able to run for election and only having to worry about 30k voters/constituents, and tailoring campaigns to the areas you represent. Id they did it, I'd run, even in my conservative ass area, because at that point you can appeal to voters based on the things that actually plague their communities, instead of bullshit scare tactics and nationwide/statewide issues. I'm surrounded by MAGA morons, but in campaigns that small, you could win this area with a campaign based on legal weed, road construction and a push to make sure the factories around here can stay in business.
