Conservatives don't need to have fifty percent to be effective. They just require cohesive action. In my town of about half a million (that's a town on LI) about ten percent vote on the conservative line. But we have more influence than that, and Conservatives in several elected positions, including a seat on town board and the sherrif. We achieved this by grass roots legwork and passion. The republicans can't win without our support, which makes us an influential partner, not just a wing of their party. Independants and some democrats work with us on issues.
Democracy can work, but it takes work. Be active in local politics.
