The size of the far right isn't growing. Republicans comprise 30 to 40% of the active voting pool and true Trumpers are only 10 to 20%.

It's a shrinking minority trying to hang onto power by voter suppression, gerrymandering, making it hard for young voters to vote, removing the civil rights of women and LGBTQ, and gun violence.

@Npars01 @uanews The Republican Party has always been a minority party. That's why they have to cheat. That's why they've been working for decades to take over the state legislatures in rural states where voters are easier to bamboozle. This enables them to set rules and gerrymander to lock themselves in. It might also enable them to call a Constitutional Convention if they gain enough state houses. That's why the Republicans worked hard to load the Supreme Court.

They can't win on nationwide popular vote so they use every trick at their disposal.
