The Republicans, who currently control the Congress, the Supreme Court, and the White House, represent a MINORITY OF AMERICANS.
Senate elections 2012-2016:
Republican votes: 102.3 million
Democratic votes: 117.4 million
15 million more Americans cast votes for Democrats in a Senate that is now controlled by a 51-to-49 GOP majority.
Presidential election 2016:
Republican votes: 62,985,134
Democratic votes: 65,853,652
The only thing the Republicans took with more votes was the House of Representatives in 2016, where they won 63,173,815 to 61,776,554. And despite winning by only 1.1%, they have 10.8% more seats.
This is intolerable in a democracy, especially the supposed greatest democracy on the planet.
Trump is right, the system is rigged. But it sure as hell isn't rigged for the Democrats. Or the majority of Americans.
