    That’s the problem, they’re not roughly half of all voters, but as previously stated have outside power. As for contending with them, the only thing to do is vote dem and start changing policies. Republicans, especially with a majority control of basically anything, are a policy failure on multiple levels.

      Trump received 47% of the popular vote last election, i.e., roughly half. That has nothing to do with the electoral college, that means that roughly half of all voters voted for Trump to receive a second term, and there’s polling to suggest he would receive more than that if the election was held today.

      Regardless of your feelings about them, they’re roughly 1 out of every 2 voters in this country. You can’t just hand wave that fact away because you don’t like them.
