stupid people voting for a stupid man.

It is important to avoid a tyranny of the majority, because that can come back to bite hard, like in tRump's second term where he has a razor thin majority but will use it to tyrannize many groups.

Balancing the rights against a great need (public need for competent caring government) is tricky. It's a conundrum that I'm still searching for answers to.

The best I can come up with so far is that the public should vote on broad policies but non-partisan technocrats should implement those wishes. I don't think the public (and definitely not the Mucks and Zucks) should be allowed to directly influence governance of any particular group.

For example, the public or their representatives do have a right to say that some government money should be used to fight existential problems, but technocrats are better equipped to compare the problem of undocumented immigration versus climate change. I think technocrats would find that the security, environmental, and food risks of climate change far outweigh the former and thus would direct the bulk of government efforts to the latter rather than the former.

But a baldly stated simple concept like that would never fly without a lot of development and discussion to make it reasoned and complete. It might be the way, maybe not. So I'm still searching, still thinking.

And it looks like they ALL came out and voted for TSF.
