How can we ever have a healthy Democracy,

9. Okay. And at the end of that day

numbers give us the clearest perspective.

The 74 million record R vote are 23% of the country (per 330 mil of 2010 Census, which is my base population figure).
We can fairly say that other 77% are okay with who's running the nation now -- the number that includes children, undocumented immigrants, independent voters and us Dems, the 81,282,903 who voted Biden.

I haven't yet found my old AP vote tracker, but the last numbers I had were that these votes now represent the
below 18 population (74.2 mil) and undocumented immigrants (10 mil).
Total 2020 registered population (213,799,467 per a linkable source) who voted but did NOT vote for Trump (so Independents + Democratic votes) = 84,172,012, which = 39% of the registered population,
which = 34 % of the voting age population.

Overall, using the 2010 Census count, the total US population that did not vote for Trump = 255,777,407.

It's a numbers perspective about who Americans are (give or take the last six digits).
I prefer it over conditioned media hype, even from our side.
To you we might see their "half" in Congress, but that's not teh lay of the population land.

We keep winning the popular majority. So the way I see Americans, an 'American' is what the popular voting majority does. I do worry, but am not discouraged yet.
