How can a vote of the majority be considered as TYRANNY if Constitutional rights are respected?
People tend to say they don't want "tyranny of the majority". That they respect democracy and individual rights and limits on the majority's power over the minority. They're often not telling the truth.
To do that, people need to oppose their OWN side when it's in power and oversteps. When trump sabotages the Post Office trying to steal an election, HIS supporters should put country over party or cult leader, and stand up for fair elections and against abuse of power and the rights of their fellow citizens who vote differently.
There's an old saying, "I strongly disagree with what you say, but I will defend to the death the right to say it."
Republicans have largely updated that to, "I strongly disagree with what you say, and I'd strongly support trump if he shot you on Fifth Avenue for saying it."
I haven't seen ONE trump supporter condemn his attempt to steal the election by sabotaging the post office or other methods. That is why they are called un-American, traitorous, anti-democracy, dangerous, immoral, etc. It's simply describing them, and their not liking it doesn't make it less accurate. They need to put up or shut up on defending the American system.
Because constitutional rights are not respected. The most egregious example is the right to keep and bear arms, which is routinely violated by both the states and the federal government.

Do you want tyranny of the majority?
I'd be more than happy to back down to my opposition to the Second Amendment if your side would back down their opposition to just about every other Amendment.

Right now we have unchecked tyranny of the minority so it might be an improvement.
Like what? People on the far right like myself hate government, we support any restrictions on the state.
Isn't "tyranny of the majority" what democracy is?
lol
Where was the last mass gun confiscation in violation of the 2nd amendment?
The current president has decided to rule by decree, so you must not be a supporter then.
What are 5 examples of the tyranny of the minority? The fact that other people have innate rights to act and live how they choose that you don't agree with does not mean that your rights are being violated.
No, you're thinking of progressive hero FDR.
Whenever one side is about to lose an election not only decisively, but embarrassingly so, such that the other party is likely to end up controlling all branches of government, except for the Supreme Court, democracy instantly transforms into "tyranny of the majority."
Grow up.

No I was thinking of Donald Trump who has decided to sabotage the post office and social security by executive decree, is now claiming basically unlimited power, and is unchecked by a willing senate.
Donald Trump didn't commit the worst US civil rights violation of the 20th century by putting 120,000 innocent people in concentration camps via executive order. That crime was committed by progressive hero FDR.
And you're worried about the stupid post office.
