How many times have you heard save our Democracy or some simile of it over your lifetime?
Let me guess — you think we have one, we had one, we live in one or you’d like to live in one?
If so….
You’re fine with the majority deciding that everyone must take an experimental drug — or even a non-experimental one, yes?

You’re fine with the majority insisting on forced business closures on the mere claim that something horrible might happen if not? I remind you that every governor did this, even DeSantis. Personal friends of mine had their bars forcibly closed by the cops during the pandemic — in Florida — and when my home sale closed at the very end of April it was not possible to go have a beer and some food with friends the night before as by state-wide decree all such places were shut down. Spare me your sanctimonious lies as it is a fact that I and close friends sat in a hotel room and had to order our food for delivery.
You’re fine with the majority deciding that every dollar you earn beyond some level (which they choose) is to be distributed out to everyone who has a need, yes?
You’re fine with the majority deciding that if you have a spare bedroom in your home (say, for guests who might come) then if there is no guest in there right now a homeless person of someone else’s choosing can occupy it at your expense whether you like it or not, yes?
You’re fine with the majority deciding that your daughter must bear zero, one, two or four children and, if she doesn’t want to or can’t find someone she wants to do so with she must be held down and forced, yes?
