    56%? So basically the popular vote when voters actually fucking vote.

    It’s the same damn statistic every time. 60% people horrified, 30% cheering, 10% cheering while making a good show of wringing their hands.

    First past the post, education politicization, political disenfranchisement, and gerrymandering have created millions of monsters. I only hope democracies abroad take this as their wakeup call to fix the broken systems creating the global hard right movement.
