The facts are Trump is president, Republicans own both houses (54/100, 247/435) , the supreme Court, most governors (33/50), mayors (60%), and of course all the law enforcement.
Republicans own the Senate 52-48, not 54-46; you're thinking of prior to Trump. As you can see, their margin actuality shrunk in '16.
The House is currently 239-194; again, you're thinking of prior to the '16 election. The gap shrunk, may shrink a bit again in a week with Ossoff, and may result in a D House majority in 2018 as Trump continues to bomb.
Conservatives had a majority in SCOTUS for nearly 30 years, from the late 80's until Scalia thankfully kicked. During that time period, they got virtually nothing conservative accomplished. Then came a 14 month gap, which made Republicans look like bitter, vindictive obstructionist fools, followed by the appointment of someone who, while still horrible, is less of a regressive, bigoted, Bible-thumping homophobic slob than Nino was.
The vast majority of Republican Governors fit into one of two categories (there's some crossover between them):
A) completely inept fools who are destroying their states (Walker, Bryant, the combo of Bentley/Ivey, Lepage, Brownback, Scott, Christie)
B) at the helm of horrific red states no one would ever want to voluntarily live in (Bevin, Hutchinson, Bryant)
The really good ones, like Charlie Baker, Larry Hogan, and Brian Sandoval, are either socially liberal or socially moderate, only slightly right of center on other issues, and can't stand Trump.
I've never seen the "60%" figure as it relates to Mayors. I'm curious as to what the qualifying cutoff is as far as population for that stat. 10,000? 50,000? Virtually every large city in the US has a Democrat Mayor; the only exception I can think of is San Diego's Kevin Faulconer, who is a socially and culturally progressive Republican who doesn't even mention Trump's name.
And Trump's been an inept trainwreck.
Any other statistics you'd like to throw at us?
