> I am consistently baffled how a political party can make so many decisions that are objectively wrong and still garner support of roughly 50% of the population.
No party in the US has support of "roughly 50% of the population"; the two largest are around 25% by polling [0]. With turnout at the last election around 55%, the voting in the last election is also consistent with each major party being supported by around 25% of the population eligible to vote.
