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.
Apologies my comment wasn’t intended to counter yours if it sounded that way. I agree with you too. It just popped the cork on a hotbutton topic of mine. 🙂
