Your claim can be refuted with 1 word: gerrymandering. If the right weren't the minority, that brand of political f**kery wouldn't be necessary. But they're afraid of being subject to the "tyranny of the majority", i.e. democracy, so they do what they can to ensure the tyranny of the minority. Ironic since that's essentially what the colonists sought to escape when they broke away from England in the first place.
