No, with the January 6 riots? we see a minority no longer interested in the democratic process now that they don’t feel they are winning anymore.
How can you look at this Supreme Court, where multiple appointments were the result of heavy lobbying by large wealthy conservative faith groups to a president who lost the popular vote, and parliamentary tricks to keep the seat open, and see it representing a return to majority rule from rule by elites.
- jacquesm 4y agoAt a guess because it results in a country that is closer to the one desired. Never mind the fact that not a single abortion will be stopped on account of this. What will change is that there won't be any safe abortions, essentially this will cause the same number of fetuses to be aborted, it will also result in the death or in complications with a fairly large percentage of the mothers. It may (will?) even result in suicides. This is in my opinion the real tragedy, the 'pro life' (I use their moniker but I disagree with it) groups are essentially 'anti mom'.

That minority is now in jail, and according to the laws in the US, those people have also lost their ability to vote. The people who active participated in the riot is no longer even an minority vote, but outside the voting process altogether.
- mattnewton 4y agoI wish, but while some people are in jail, that minority very likely still votes from seats in congress! https://www.rollingstone.com/politics/politics-news/exclusive-jan-6-organizers-met-congress-white-house-1245289/amp/ https://www.rollingstone.com/politics/politics-news/exclusiv...
