You want to see “tyranny of the majority”? Because this is tyranny of the majority.

Do scientific institutions confirm that so-called “undesirables” are actually ok? They do? Then they should be given equal rights no matter how unpopular it is.

Wouldn't this be the tyranny of the minority? Since these positions are minority positions?

Sadly I believe a majority of Americans are fascist as fuck. Without places like this I would feel very lonely living here.

They are, but most still support gay marriage. Trans people are the queer issue the majority are against

I think I need to take some time away. The news is putting me in a depressive spiral again. I'm so tired of all this 💔 sadness

It's good for you once in a while. I've recently started making it a habit when I start to feel the dread climbing up inside me

This is pretty clearly tyranny of the minority, isn't it? This isn't what most people support.

The way no one gives a fuck about science or objective facts drives me out of my mind

Popularity is created by vanguard action. BLM caused caucasian heartlands to be pro-abolish the police, before AOC and other libs defanged the movement.

An american communist vanguard party could direct the masses to make being "pro not kill minorities" very popular. But the american left is allergic to actual use socialist political tactics, while the far right isn't - even worse they somehow take polls conducted by bourgeoisie institutions as iron-clad and unchangeable metrics of the working class, and so moderate and bend their own politics accordingly (Mamdani needs to say "Israel has a right to exist" because NYC the working population are that much of a zionistic class). They confuse the improbable with the impossible and the unknown with the unknowable.
