Alas, many people do. I did some checking, and the Republicans have now been in control of both the House and Senate for the last 10 years.

Indeed they have increased their majorities in both in each of the last two elections. Given these rather sobering truths, the proposition that the American electorate has been “fooled” is rather difficult to listen to with a straight face. There is obviously more to a decade of “conservative” success than some slight of hand.

Rather than rail about the problem, Pixies, and sites like Pixies would be better served by working to change the next election results as you and GingerV have suggested.
