    They don’t need equity in numbers though. They just need to win the electoral college once to tear the whole system down.

        They’ve lost the popular vote for President in 2000 and 2016 but the slaver’s College saved them. 2000 only won thanks to a crooked SCOTUS.

          Or to put it differently they’ve won the popular vote once in the past 30 years. The last Republican to be president without losing the popular vote in their first election was in 1988, he then proceeded to lose, and his son only won the popular vote in his second term in part thanks to a patriotic fervor following 9/11. Incidentally, there are voters born after that election.
