    Most of us know, and are just as terrified as you are. We’re just gerrymandered out of any ability to actually affect the process rationally.

        No, I’m sticking with most. We’re just gerrymandered enough that the smaller group can exert an outsized influence over the rest of us.

          I like your optimism but unfortunately cannot share it. Too many IRL experiences to convince me that sane people are anything but a 30% minority nationwide.

        They’re only about a third. That’s not really solace, though. The Nazis only had about 30% support, as did Mussolini. That’s all it takes for fascism to succeed.
