It has always been minority rule for GOP. That’s why they are so eager to abandon the democracy.

Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.
Example:
- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
- Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
- No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
- Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
- No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
That's all the rules!

They'll complain that the rights of their minority beliefs are being infringed upon because they can't force other people to do what they say. I'm assuming they'll continue to turn to violence to get what they want, since they obviously don't have any ideas to run on.
Speaker Johnson often repeats this mantra in interviews and podcasts; he is fond of quipping that democracy is two wolves and a lamb deciding what’s for dinner.
Yes, so the entire point here is that; to prevent basically a majority subjugate the minority we have two parts. Fundamental rights enshrined in our Constitution and a Judicial system that ensures least harm. Ohio has indicated an amendment to the Constitution that prevents Government intervention into reproductive health. That is, Ohio has indicated that reproductive health rights deserve the exact same protection that say free speech deserves.
A free society is allowed to dictate what rises to a fundamental right for the people. Additionally, it is up to the judicial system to implement that right in a manner that poses the least harm. If some Christian does not want an abortion, no judge will impose it upon them. That is the means of least harm. But likewise, it means that a Judge cannot invalidate that fundamental right in a manner that causes more harm. Random Christians cannot impose their religious beliefs onto someone else, that is pretty grave harm.
And all these religious nut jobs wonder why their pews are becoming more and more empty? The liberals aren't running anyone out of the church, it's the rapist priest, the abuse of power, and the implementation of other's world views onto those who do not agree that runs the people out of the church.
The biggest harm to the church and Christianity at the current moment is Christians themselves. There's zero evidentiary nature in what they are attempting to do that shows them of some organization that wishes to spread good will. Instead they come off as vindictive and bitter. No one wants to be around that bullshit.
