Republicans will be very self-righteous about the power they have by controlling the US Senate, about to force a radical plutocrat Justice onto the Supreme Court most of the country oppose. So let's remember how legitimate that power is.
Using the most recent election as an example, 2018 - Republicans have 53-47 control of the Senate. But the actual votes in the Senate were Democrats 52,265,346, and Republicans 34,726,519. That MASSIVE majority of the American people - 58% to 38% - results in the 38% having control, to confirm a justice from a president who lost by three million votes. You rarely hear just how broken our democracy is, with minority rule.
