3 comments  People always say that we have to protect democracy and shit, but if you look at it, individual negotiation that factors in your self-fulfillment ideas only truly happens in capitalism. I‘m pretty sure that you can still feel excellent in the USA and you may even still be called by your pronouns if you‘ve put yourself in the right economic situation, whereas the democratic system is currently failing you because the majority is just overruling you with the powerful man signing orders. And an order is fundamentally not negotiateable, it‘s a top down command. mishaSubmitter happy trias politica ! democracy and individual rights are in fact not opposing forces, modern democratic systems are specifically designed with checks and balances to protect both majority rule and individual rights. Executive orders are limited by constitutional boundaries and can be challenged in court and be overridden by legislative action. The one about birthright has already been blocked actually https://www.forbes.com/sites/alisondurkee/2025/01/23/judge-blocks-trumps-birthright-citizenship-restrictions-in-court-for-now-blatantly-unconstitutional/ Also luckily individual rights are not solely protected by economic status. Fundamental rights are protected by law, not economic status, the rule of law applies equally regardless of economic position, constitutional guarantees exist independent of market forces. But let’s see how crazy it gets in the operetta Trump is staging. |
