          No that’s the non proportional voting system, gerrymandering, and electoral college system that allows the Republicans to get away with it.

          Also add in the shit education, money = speech, and late stage capitalism bullshit to get the morons voting that way in the first place.

          Not the far right ones; they’re celebrating Trump wanting to be “dictator on day one” which is obviously anti-American

        Majority tho? You’re a “democracy”, no?

          The GOP is a minority party. They use tactics like voter suppression, electoral fraud, and gerrymandering to maintain power, despite receiving votes from q shrinking minority of the populace.

          You’re a “democracy”, no?

          So, no, not functionally.
