For all that you posted nothing to support you claim that the Founders intended for a minority to set policy or that we don’t operate as a representative democracyNo no. Very limited. Very very limited.
Your ignorance is as funny as your grasp on persuasion is lacking.
Please reread the OP. Then, delve into history. Spend some time trying to get a handle on the Federalist papers and the writings of our Framers.
When Benjamin Franklin was asked at the end of the Constitutional convention what they had given us (the American people), he famously replied “a republic ma’am, if you can keep it.”
He knew far more than you do. And they chose a republic as opposed to a democracy for many reasons, some of which were crucial. Amongst those reasons was a pronounced mistrust of democracy.
Easily observed, if you’d care to try to think logically and honestly — for once. If you wanted to pass a law today and could get a majority of your fellow citizens to vote with you to shut down Fox News, you couldn’t do it. The majority doesn’t rule.
Similarly, if you or some other fascist in the Democrap Party saw fit to deny the Hispanic citizens their right to vote, even if you got a majority to say “yes!”, You’d lose. Again, the majority doesn’t rule. Why not? Because we aren’t a democracy. We are a Constitutional republic.
Stop looking at my body, by the way, you creepy vermin pervert. “No” means “no,” you bitch.
