Representing The Whole Country

We are a Democratic Republic where the PEOPLE elected their governing officials...  the vote of the people...


In this last election, Joe Biden won the presidency by a slim margin:  51% : 49%


This margin is still a victory no matter which way you look at it...  and yet...  Joe Biden did not receive an overwhelming mandate from the people...   in fact, 51% to 49% is so close (and it was probably even closer as I am rounding) that one could say it was 50/50...  and not be far off.


Still, he got a majority and still he won...


He who wins sets the rules...  so to speak...


But again...  half the country did not want him to be president...  so half the country is relatively PISSED OFF...


The Democrats control the House by just a few votes and the Senate has a 50/50 split, so the TIE IS BROKEN by a Democratic VP...  in essence, the Democrats control CONGRESS...  but do they really have the support of MORE THAN HALF THE COUNTRY?


The answer is NO!


So, is our country really united?  NO...

Is this causing us problems?  YES...


Historically, when the midterms take place, the party that is NOT IN POWER typically wins more than the party that is in power, which means that there is a very good possibility that the House and the Senate will soon be controlled by the Republicans...


Is this good?  NO...

Will Congress represent a majority of the country?  NO...


And yet, this is our form of government...  but, it is only a problem when the country is split in half...  LIKE NOW...


If it were 60/40 or 70/30, one could easily say that the election reflects a majority of the country...  and that makes sense...


This 50/50 division in this country started when Trump was elected President instead of Clinton...  for 4 years the Dems set out to destroy Trump.  And, 2 years after his presidency, the Dems are trying to destroy Trump so he will not run again...  


Does this strategy reflect a majority of the country? NO...

And yet...  here we are...


A 50/50 country only serves our ENEMIES...  like China and Russia because they can take advantage of a country that is not united...


It appears that it is going to be up to the people to bring our country together rather than our leaders...  as our leaders are stuck on BEING RIGHT rather than COMPROMISE.  When we fall from our leadership position in the world, we may understand...  but until then, the USA is pushing a GREEN AGENDA that the other major countries ARE NOT FOLLOWING...  but, we are supposed to be the global leader...


Why are they not following our example?
