The left has always been a minority. but has been quite adept at inflating their numbers and convincing the gullible to accept their cheat as “legitimate”.
The low-information voter will always vote for “free” stuff, which the Left constantly offers them.
The left are better opportunists when it comes to manipulating a stupid populace. The right does not understand the game. The left has no moral underpinnings, so they can lie with no contrition and with impunity.
