My over-generalized understanding is that it’s more like 1/3rd, but because of exploited political geography their votes were “more special” than the rest of ours, so suddenly we arrived at:
Ohhhh I think I might have misread your original comment. Were you saying 2/3rds didn’t vote for this , but aren’t meaningfully opposing it?
(In which case me getting updoots on that one for being wrong is a tad confusing but lol internet I guess?)
I would partially disagree in that case though. There’s a lot being done but it’s definitely more quiet than all the damage they’re doing, and the opposition has to move carefully.
There are certainly a lot of weenie politicians that are sticking with the age old strategy of “I’m not like those guys” while tacitly supporting the corruption at the same time, and they need to be fired and replaced as swiftly and ruthlessly as possible with fighters.
sorry, I screwed up in my reply. I meant to say only 1/3 of the voting population voted against him (but yes also 1/3 voted for him, and 1/3 didn’t vote at all)
I was trying to say that 2/3 did not meaningfully oppose him, yes
2/3 of the country not opposing his policies seems pretty clear cut to me

When I last looked at the numbers months ago, the actual number of votes for Republicans was 1/3 of the eligible voting population
*what I meant to say here was actual number of votes against Republicans
