      Those safeguards exist to protect democracy.

      Absolutely not. They exist to protect the power and privilege of the few. If you read through your own source, you will see that “tyranny of the majority” narratives has always been nothing but a thinly-veiled set of excuses to justify that which is thoroughly and irrevocably anti-democratic.

      There is no if, ands, or buts here - the meaning of the term democracy is hard-edged and non-negotiable… which is what makes actual democracy so contemptible to liberals and their fascist and capitalist cronies. In fact, examples of liberals handing power to fascism to protect them from anything that can be called democratic with a straight-face is so well-attested in history that it’s pretty darn mundane at this point.

      You don’t have to believe me - you can see for yourself how powerful elites are protecting you from the (so-called) “tyranny of the majority” by saving you from the evils of… easy and universal access to healthcare.

      How heroic of them, eh?
