Why does the liberal left being the minority have control over the majority?

How can a liberal minority rule a majority especially in both state and federal government?

The screeching wheel gets the grease, conservatives as a rule don't throw tantrums and use logic instead of emotion, thats all I got.

The processes in place at federal, state, and local levels generally prevent a simple majority from doing whatever it wants. That is what a democracy is. And that is what allowed the republicans to prevent Obama from doing most of what he wanted to do when democrats controlled the White House and Congress. And it also allows the far right groups in congress to prevent the republicans from doing much of what they want.

I'm not so certain liberals are a minority certainly not an overwhelming minority. In the election HRC got more votes than DJT but as we are not a direct democracy that really doesn't matter for anything other than to show who more people liked. Some traditionally republican states are seeing closer races or are losing seats to liberal candidates.

I think it is because the people on the right side of the aisle are usually far calmer and collected and of the mindset that they shouldn't be getting all wild and out of control. I think that there is a lot of appeasing going on in order to shut up the kids who are wailing and crying.

Remember the old adage (regardless of political officiating), they who cry loudest are heard. Thank you for your service.
