        They technically aren’t being voted into office. They use tactics such as gerrymandering and voter suppression to get elected. If everything was “fair” and “balanced” they would be a tiny minority in our government

          I see no evidence that a sizable percentage of Republicans is crying for more moderate candidates nor refusing to vote for these racist, homophobic, transphobic shitbags. They aren’t being voted in by the electorate as a whole, but they absolutely are being voted in by Republicans, those other problems notwithstanding.

            I agree with you, their choice to turn a blind eye to the actions of their peers is abhorrent. My point was that in a large chunk of these places they wouldn’t be elected into office if they didn’t cheat their way to get there.
