It's still a minority, and we live in a democratic society.

  I don't think you understand "democratic" as its normally used. It does not mean tyranny of the majority. If it did, we would not need a constitution or Senate.

    while you can argue about to what degree democracy overlaps with majoritarianism it almost definitely doesn't stand for tyranny of the minority, in this case both of the population and, funnily enough, even of truck drivers. Respect for the constitution and the senate first and foremost implies that you follow lawfully passed legislation instead of throwing a tantrum, otherwise there's little point in having those institutions in the first place.

  Without more context this means nothing, Uighurs are also a minority in China.
