⅔ of eligible US voters chose their current federal representation.

⅓ actively. ⅓ passively.

It was an indisputable majority who chose this outcome. If the US wants to argue this is not who they are, then its citizenry needs to prove it.

using the U.S. Census Bureau’s 2024 Current Population Survey estimates, about 65.3% of the voting-age population voted and 73.6% were registered — which implies roughly 88.7% of registered voters cast a ballot in 2024 (65.3 ÷ 73.6 ≈ 0.887) [1]

Weak communities are required for authoritarianism.
