Professional dissenters like @Fox_Claire, who built careers on unpopular opinions, now drone on about the absolute sanctity of The Will of The People. When their views are unpopular, they’re libertarians. The moment they get to 52%, they hug majoritarianism. Hypocrites, in short.
They infantilise an entire electorate, likening it to a tantrum-prone toddler, by warning of the violent offence it will take at any suggestion it may have been wrong. Having spent years berating majorities for taking offence at them just “saying it how it is”.
Problem is, historically, we KNOW majorities often get things horribly wrong. This is a matter of incontrovertible fact. Is it respectful for our elected representatives to keep shtum, when they see looming disaster, for fear of injuring people’s sensibilities? Is that democracy?
