But again, I'm letting the recent events color my judgment. I won't say the majority can't be tyrannical, but if one side has the easier path to victory I expect to see the tyrants line up for that team.
Yup, a tyrant is a tyrant. Whether they are in the majority or the minority. Honestly, a popularly elected POTUS will have no impact on it because of the way Congress is structured and the way the powers are separated. But, because one party is unabashedly anti-democratic they use these arguments because they don't hide this.
