Constantly trotting out this narrative that we’re being mean and encouraging division are insane. This isn’t a choice between a ###### and a terd anymore. This is an authoritarian anti democratic racist hate filled party vs the democrats (who still suck but at least aren’t actively trying to erode democracy).

Lol...I love this response. In order to avoid considering reality...you broadly stroke my post as tone deaf and then make the completely tone deaf statement that I pointed out in the first place.
You clearly have very little interaction with Republican voters. Until you realize that the vast majority of Republican voters have legitimate concerns as opposed to sinister, liberal hating agendas such as:
1. Will I have a job next week and can I provide for my family
2. Will there be work for my children
If you cant address these concerns and convince them to trust you...the country will remain divided. Take a step back and recognize that you are being played like a fiddle. You are no longer able to see what is the best and worst policy...you can only see it in red or blue. In this context you have way more in common with the "dont take my guns crowd" than you believe. Until you are able to step back from this...it is impossible to have a reasonable conversation with you or any of the others on both sides in highly polarized mindsets...and worse...you will continue to get angrier as the other side continues to win 50% of the battles (maybe more maybe less).
On the senate:
The Senate is meant to be a counter balance by design to straight majority rules ( 2 votes per state), the house is the counter balance (proportional representation), the presidency is an ugly #### show thereof. Each of these had a specific constitutional purpose (the Senate's purpose is to ensure that NY, Texas and California dont set all the rules for the entire country).
