      Simple.

      The billionaires decide.

      You can blame the whole of the US population if you like, but voters here only have any power on the local level. National elections are wholly driven and decided by the billionaire class, so to me, it’s a tad absurd to pretend that the people as a whole support this. That’s even more true when you look at the 2025 and 2026 elections (so far), where nearly all of the candidates back by Donald have lost, regardless of the state, and most in districts Donald won by double digits in 2024. (Demonstrating that people do not support the war in Iran or the pedophile coverup.)

      Hell, Donald can’t even gerrymander anymore, because the Republican Party can’t accurately project where they have voter strength. That is the incredible extent to which people are opposed to this.

      And you make yourself sound ignorant by pretending otherwise in the face of all of these facts.
