as a percentage, sure... but once a super majority is reached it should be nationwide, no?

It should always have been nationwide. It *was* nationwide, and accepted as such, until after the Civil War. Even then, it was mostly accepted.

What happened was the majority accepted restrictions on disfavored minorities.

Then the restrictions were imposed on the majority populations.

Then we started fighting back, and now the fight has been producing results.
