The "majority" gets to decide a great many things by voting on them.
However they do not get to decide whether or not someone not included in their "majority" is entitled to the same constitutional rights and protections that everybody else is... even if that "minority" is 1 person and the "majority" is everybody else. I guess if I could round up a majority of voters and we put forth the proposition that you, personally, be denied certain rights and privileges that we didn't think you deserved, and then voted on it and won, you'd be okay with that. Want to get a driver's license? Buy some property? Ride on our "No Steamwake" buses and eat at our "No Steamwake" restaurants? Vote on overturning our new "No Steamwake" law? Sorry, we took a vote on that and you're not allowed. Majority rules FTW! |
