You’re lashing out emotionally while pretending to champion constitutional principles. Let’s clarify a few things, with some help from AYN RAND, who understood tyranny in all its disguises.
“The smallest minority on earth is the individual. Those who deny individual rights cannot claim to be defenders of minorities.” AYN RAND
a) You accuse others of failing to protect minorities, but your idea of “minority rights” seems to ignore the individual completely. You’re conflating open borders with justice, and equating opposition to illegal immigration with tyranny. That’s dishonest. Rights belong to individuals under the law, not to arbitrary categories created for political leverage.
b) As for Trump, you say he doesn’t care about the law. You mean your interpretation of the law. Every president tests constitutional limits, your hero Obama used executive orders like candy. Rand again:
“A government is the most dangerous threat to man's rights: it holds a legal monopoly on the use of physical force.” AYN RANDThat’s why the system matters more than your feelings about a particular man in office. If Trump violates the Constitution, the courts, not your hashtags, are the mechanism to restrain him.
c) Your third point exposes your fundamental confusion. A constitutional republic is a form of representative democracy, just not one based on mob rule. When conservatives say “we are not a democracy,” they’re pointing out that pure majoritarianism, rule by the loudest crowd, is precisely what the Constitution was written to prevent.
“The political function of rights is precisely to protect minorities from oppression by majorities (and the smallest minority on earth is the individual).” AYN RAND
In other words, your outrage does not entitle you to rewrite definitions, or history. If you want to defend liberty, start by defending the Constitution, not emotional tantrums disguised as moral high ground. |
