Your view of a “democratic society” is not based on actual definitions.
You may need to look at definitions. You are simply arguing against modern democracy. It may comply with the Greek definition of the term but things have changed.
If 75% of the population agree on something, do you think that the 25% should get to overrule it?
If those 75% unjustly take away the rights of a part of the citizenship? Obviously the 25% overrule them. Human rights come before majority vote.
I displayed no enthusiasm whatsoever.
Tell that to the person responsible for your phrasing.
Trump just won 53%….what if JD Vance wins 63% next time?
Trump somehow keeps dropping hints that people won’t need to vote again. Weird how that happens, especially given that the admin ignores parliament and law and due process wherever it can. Trump’s ratings of course drop right now. The only reason for him to even allow another election to go ahead is if there’s propaganda win to be wrung out of it.
Would you agree that they won the democratic election and should form government? Would you agree that the democratic process was followed?
For one thing, in Germany legal proceedings both could and should have occurred against Afd at some point in the past years. Germany shouldn’t even be at this point, the constitution does allow a way out. Politicians of democratic forces literally didn’t do their job.
The constitution does also include Art. 20 p. 4, legitimizing a general strike against people trying to undo the constitutional order. Realistically, it likely wouldn’t happen nearly at the level needed to make a difference though.
In any case, no, you shouldn’t give power to obviously antidemocratic forces.
