People support such things, as e.g. gun control (90% of us including registered members of the NRA), but donors oppose them. Therefore I suspect we will see the donors chosen over their constituents, as has happened every time as of late 😢.

Even so, this particular battle must be fought - unlike e.g. the one with gun control where it is primarily the children of the poors that are being slaughtered (sorry, it's upsetting but true) - bc this lies at the very foundation of this country, and to not fight it would be suicide for our little "experiment" (multiple hundreds of years going!) in democracy.
