Now, what "half" would that be?  There is no other "half," J.Bob....we are all part of many groups, splinters of some and opposed to others; no one group won or lost the election, no one group supports any one outcome of legislation.  You operate on a "we versus them" mentality which is not only divisive, it is woefully incorrect.  The only reason why this is so for you is that, clearly, you do not read enough analysis and fact-finding.  That's on you and I can't help you with it other then encourage you to stop listening to your own voice, and try to expand the information that surrounds you.  For example: if I were to ask you to tell us right now the entire spectrum of your political, social and religious beliefs - ALL of them - you wouldn't fit in any one group 100%, now would you?  None of us would is we are thinking human beings.  So it's not "the other half," my friend.....its our neighbors and friends and workmates and fellow citizens.  It is you and I.
