  1. Take it back to Nixon. Nixon was the youngest member of the un-American Activities Commission, as a House representative. When he then ran for the California senate, he used an extremist Red Scare campaign against his opponent Hellen "Pink Lady" Gahagan. Reagan, was an FDR supporting Dem and union leader. He was backing Gahagan, at first. Someone (one account I read said Nancy, another said some other actress he worked with) then got him to go to a Nixon rally, and he dropped his support for her, and was put on the path to crazytown. Not sure if he actually met with Nixon. If so, there could possibly have been threats of black listing involved, as Nixon supported doing to people. Nixon continued gathering the anti-socialist extremists, and then started playing to the Southern racists, during his presidential run. Nixon is pretty much to blame for starting to gather all the nuts into one basket.

  2. ​ @daughterofbob-d5r  The electoral college wasn't inherently designed to be so unrepresentative. It was the Permanent Apportionment Act of 1929, that fixed the number of seats in congress, which fixes the number of electorals. It would actually be easier to simply redo apportionment, so it is representative of the population, than amend the constitution. The senate is inherently the least democratic part of the system. Under 600k people getting the same number of votes as 40m people.
