No, none of that is true.

Remember, Republicans represent half the country, not some isolated sect living in small town Appalachia.

> Republicans represent half the country

This statement isn't necessarily wrong because about half of elected government officials are Republican, but I want to point out that less than 60% of eligible Americans voted in 2024, so we're talking about <30% of Americans who vote Republican.

  • And honestly, with a Congress that allows every state, irrespective of population, two Senators, it is somewhat skewed. I mean San Jose, California is about double the population of the entire state of Wyoming.

>some isolated sect living in small town Appalachia.

Calvinists or Evangelicals?

I don't think that holds water either way.
