Your entire hypothesis relies on a fair, balanced, transparent, equitable, democratic electoral system, which in most states, particularly red ones, is not currently the case... and is getting worse.

The value of democracy has never been what is right, but what the majority of people choose. Politicians know well what policy would cause them to win/lose votes through highly precise Big Data surveys throughout the country at any given time. Every move and word is carefully chosen.
I will give you a local example. Why do we have this fucked up RE market with seemingly no law passing to curve it even it's so out of touch with average income? It's because true RE market curving policies are not popular.
It's not the RIGHT decision, it's the MAJORITY decision.
The earlier you realize that the world doesn't need you to be right, it needs you to be on the majority side, the easier it is for you to understand my comments and everything around the world and see further than you could ever see, which is not much... just the every next associated consequence of any given decision.
Do I agree with all these shits going around the world? Fuck the hell no. But do you know what I realized after working like a dog for over a decade for the sake of accomplishing something and hoping to move up the pyramid? The way our society works is the way why a pyramid needs to exist.
Lefties argue that business is not paying a livable wage and we should all raise minimum wage to $25 so that their employees can live a life, like affording some nice shits and baller every now and then. You know what really happens if we set the minimum wage at $25? Everything becomes more expensive and soon they'd realize that in order to have some nice things in life, you need a $50 wage. They can't see beyond that single decision. They can't see the consequences.
If the pyramid didn't exist and it's a perfect flat line, why would anyone want to work? Why do I need to take shit from my boss/customers/whoever if everyone is the same? By trying to make everyone equal, you just make equality harder and harder.
I don't fully agree with SCOTUS reversing the decision, but I can understand why they decided to go that way. They are the last line of interpretation of the constitution. They decided to not allow constitutional freedom to be overreaching. It's that simple.
You want them to allow abortion? Then elect abortion-friendly politicians. They see data every day. If they see that the "majority" is shifting to pro-abortion, they would change their view in no time. The only reason Republicans can hold ground in those states is that majority want it that way.
