Calls and letters count more than emails and contact forms when it comes to congressional feedback.

> The fact of the matter is that the people of this country voted for this. It's what they want.

It can look like that, but remember some facts. The popular vote split was 49.8% to 48.3%. Almost 90 million eligible voters didn't cast a vote for president. That is higher than either Trump's or Harris' final vote tally. Only ~32% of eligible voters voted for Trump.

Trump likes to call it a landslide but that's just bluster. Quite a lot of his policies perform awful in polls. Public opinion can be moved.
