    The American Taliban are the majority now, though, and they most certainly do try to impose it on the rest of us.

Didn't Clinton defeat Trump by almost 3 million popular votes? Don't you think there were quite a bit more people who also disagree with Trump and neo-conservative Republicans but didn't vote for one reason or another? Do you really think demographic data would back up your statement, or do you think that "The American Taliban," happens to be a very powerful minority that has found a way to game the system through shit like propoganda and oh, I dunno, gerrymandering?

Not a majority of the population, to be sure, and that's not what I meant, but a majority of the faithful? Yes, I think so.

For what it's worth, I'd prefer to be wrong on this one.
