Not sure why everyone is so upset by my post that essentially is reiterating, "the people have a right to be heard and they ultimately elect how their town/state/country is run".
Imagine a hypothetical world where the South won the Civil War and successfully seceded.
The elected government of the Confederate States of America says that black people have no civil rights whatsoever.
Okay by you?
A comment like this one also breaks the guideline that says: "Please respond to the strongest plausible interpretation of what someone says, not a weaker one that's easier to criticize."
