It saddens me to know that 68% of my country are a bunch of racists.

I'm assuming you're from the US?

Due to gerrymandering, even if republicans receive 68% of the seats, it doesn't mean 68% of the votes went to them. They might very well be able to take 68% of the seats with under 40% of the votes.
