Micro cosmology is a problem a majority of Americans live with. If they can't see it from their front porch it don't exist. That played a major factor in the current shitshow preloading in d.c.

Here's another one for you: 'played a major factor in'. Not strictly correct grammatically. A better phrase would've been, "played a major role in".

If one prefers to keep "factor" instead of 'played", than there is always the option, "was a major factor'
