    It’s what the people wanted so let them have it. MAGAts need to feel the consequences of their own actions.

      It’s what less that 30% of the population wanted.

      A problem is that with our system of government, if you have .001% majority in all three branches the other 49.9999% get absolutely no say in anything.

        I mean. That is also how it works in most countries? If you have a proper majority you can do basically anything.

        The problem in the US is how the representation is assigned, is it not?

          Part of it is that many many people did not vote, after that it’s really a winner take all system. If you can get a 1 person majority in both houses and the president the minority party with 49% representatives gets zero say in anything.

        It is what it is. Nobody here would be complaining if dems had the same .001% majority.

          Because that would never happen, left or center left leaning people are the majority
