    I suppose you can say if it’s a stereotype, then it is partially wrong.

    Viewing a little less than half the US as gun toting bigot patriots is of course inaccurate despite what elections lead you to believe.

    It’s a much less percentage due to things like gerrymandering (to sum up it means voting districts are divided up by politicians to increase which party gets elected), lower percentage of voters, how loud the extremists are, how politicians need to appeal to extremism to increase chances of winning, things like that.
