If you don't understand how divided government works, I'm not sure what I'm supposed to say.

If you are interested – and I expect not – in actually learning, look at the political party platforms if you care to see what they would accomplish if they had their way. Bothsidesism is a fig leaf conservatives dangle over reality to try to pretend it doesn't exist.

You said 30% of the minority vote. They got less than 40% of the Latino vote, and a 60/40 election is regarded a blowout of epic proportions. I think they got as usual less than 10% of the Black vote. But if you look at the Pew poll you cited, it says that 85% of Republican voters were white. That would a be a typical result. In a very and increasingly diverse country, the GOP has been ~90% white , ~90% Christian, and ~75% are both. Thems the numbers.
