You're literally the person who downthread advocates for redefining "majority" to be a synonym with "plurality" because people who don't know the actual definition of "majority" use it that way.
> Those voters are not informed on issues of transgender health of gender dysphoria, and so were taken advantage of and misled by a party that created/stoked fears and spread misinformation to win an election.
This appears to be largely autobiographical.

No. Far from it. This seems to be a case of willful ignorance, as I said in a previous reply reputable dictionaries[0] define majority to mean 'most', i.e. a definition exists for the word majority which exactly matches the way people use it.
It would seem it is you who is unaware of at least one of the definitions of the word majority.

It's as objective as can be.

To the extent is is autobiographical, your comment about uneducated people who were misled by a party spreading misinformation is indeed objective. Good luck escaping your chosen bubble!
No, it isn't autobiographical. It's pretty widely documented that the vast majority are ignorant about transgender issues and help. The GOP ads focusing on trans issues were objectively misinformation, just like 45s claim about migrants eating cats and dogs.
Out of the two of us, I'm not the one in a bubble.
