What power had they been denied they were owed as citizens?
What is the minimum amount of power they should have had?
Didn't they have the same amount of power any voter has?
Well, their votes were meaningless as they were outnumbered by race essentialist democrats who didn’t give a fuck about their quality of life, education, or security…knowing they had zero ability to do anything about it. Short of seceding which they didn’t take seriously.
Do you believe that anybody with any power in the Baton Rouge government felt the slightest bit accountable to what is now St George? No. Which is why the organizers were told to fuck off and likely called racists when they demanded change to the destructive race essentialist, pro crime, bad schools progressive agenda.
Votes are meaningless and so is democracy even on a local level if there is no unifying moral and political principle among the citizens. Which progressives have annihilated over the past several decades with their hyphenated America indentatarian cultural divide and conquer agenda.
It becomes exponentially more bitter when the minority carries all the financial water for the city but none of the policy clout. They got hard work and taxes, the rulers have votes and only votes on what to do with their hard work and taxes.
You think that’s a good system. I think it’s unacceptable when the majority has a warped view on even basic principles of right and wrong.
It’s the classic 2 wolves and a sheep on Election Day example. It’s why direct democracy was never an intention of this country and why it’s a fail.
Democracy even in its most watered down form only works if one side can generally bear to be ruled over by the other. They call it minority consent or losers consent. We used to have that whether it was the church, the institution, the constitution, or just basic consensus of right and wrong.
Those days are clearly over throughout the west…and you can thank the progressives. About as progressive as cancer
