That doesn't only apply to the federal government. There are plenty of state legislatures where Republicans have, through
gerrymandering election rigging, seized power and held that power despite voters choosing Democrats, sometimes by large margins, such as but not limited to Michigan. All they had to do was win the legislature and Govs office in one midterm and bam, they stole an entire decade's worth of legislative influence in one fell swoop.
That sounds like half
(often less than half, actually) the state unilaterally imposing its will and its values on the other half. And yet I rarely hear long-winded screeds from conservative politicians on that.
