The Senate ensures that representatives of as little as 7.42% of the US population can prevent a fascist president from being removed from office.

The number of representatives apportioned for each state does not dictate how they vote on any particular issue. The Senate has existed long before our current president.

The purpose of the Senate is to give all states equal suffrage in the legislature. Article 5 of the constitution states “no State, without its Consent, shall be deprived of its equal Suffrage in the Senate.“

Literally every president since I was born has been fascist in some way or another. The senators aren't the problem here.
