Wrong, it is because:

Republicans push policies that intentionally attempt to reduce voter turnout.

The Senate does not allow for proportional representation.

Congressional districts are so heavily gerrymandered it is a fucking joke. Then when the LITERAL Supreme Court tells Republican led states to re-draw their maps they refuse (Alabama).

Presidential elections aren't decided by the popular vote which has leaned Democratic in every election by millions of votes over the last 30 years with the exception of Bush's second term which was an aberration due to the post 9/11 mind-virus and on-going wars in the middle east.

There is no conservative majority in this country no matter how you slice the pie. The game is rigged to allow conservatives an implicit advantage in rural states with lower populations to be over represented in national elections as well as in both legislative houses.

I don't know why I'm even wasting my fucking time on you...I lost the minute I started typing, but the shit you said was so fucking stupid I just couldn't help myself...
- What a surprise, cities are progressive and rural areas are conservative! It's almost like that's what happens everywhere
  
  You specifically argued that conservatives represent "roughly half" of the country. They don't. It isn't even close to that.
  
  Just because you never left your city doesn't mean everyone's a Super-Sozialist activist
  
  I understand the mathematical realities that allow a minority party to at some points control a majority position within the government.
  
  Just because you are too fucking stupid to understand that does not mean that 50% of the country is right wing. Go back to r/conservative with the rest of the circle jerkers.
  
  Dude I'm not even republican
  
  Dude, I don't give a fuck.
  
  Then don't give a fuck elsewhere and stop assuming stuff
  
  I didn't assume shit. I never said you were a Republican. You just got your panties in a twist because I demolishes your stupid fucking positions repeatedly while you were trying to back pedal, or shift the goal posts. Again, and I cannot stress this enough:
  
  GET WREKT NOOB 😹
  
  How about you take your ignorant ass somewhere else and fuck off entirely.
  
  Because I won't let myself be censored just because I'm against circlejerks and echo chambers
