<<you should move someplace that has a democracy then. Because the United States is not a democracy. We are a Constitutional Republic. The Majority does not rule here. The US Constitution rules here. And it very specifically protects the rights of individuals regardless of the majority opinion.>> Well, aren't they being protected? You are mincing words. There can be a zillion different types of democracy and republics. But it all boils down to the people deciding the type of society they want. People can even change the constitution! So democracy rules!
