“Trump won those areas by 3,4,5 to 1…..You love to quote Chazal, how about this quote acharay rabim lhotos”
I presume you are referring tohe phrase אַחֲרֵי רַבִּים–לְהַטֹּת which is often simplistically translated as “follow the majority” and used as an early basis for democratic rule. There are others who bring down from chazal that it also can be read with the caveat admonishing us “to NOT follow the majority to do evil”.
