>>One caveat is, if your are a minority, and the majority is stripping you of all rights.<<

Agreed that this is one of the problems of democracy.

That's why our own solution, a constitutional republic, seems like a very good idea.

No matter how much we dislike it, even the KKK has the right to march and carry signs.

I wonder how well this solution would work in countries that are more polarized and where the violence is more imminent, e.g., Kashmir.

Here the KKK is rather old and toothless these days, so no real skin off our collective noses to let them march.
