The only thing worse than the tyranny of the majority is the tyranny of the minority, which we see happening today around bodily autonomy and LGBTQ. Also this fear of tyranny of the majority is widely ignorant of US history. It has happened countless times in different contexts, what value is there in treating the urban/rural divide special? The white majority supported enslavement of black people. And destroying or expelling Native Americans. And the banning of immigration from China. And Jim Crow. Then Japanese internment. Christian majority pushed for criminalizing homosexuality. And banning gay marriage. And criminalizing drug use. Or the capitalist majority sought to destroy communists in the McCarthy era. All throughout US history we have examples of a majority exerting their power over a minority. It’s just really weird that the urban/rural divide is where you and others draw the line. Should black people’s votes be counted twice? Should communists get 40 votes? Should gay people get 10? Then why is it rural Kansas farmer gets 2?
