Except we, the people can change govt. It exists because we the masses let it.
When we organize and use it like that, the powerful will need to find new hobbies.
#majorityrule FTW. No more #minoritarians

Now the bourgeois treasures nothing more highly than the self (rudimentary as his may be). And so at the cost of intensity, he achieves his own preservation and security. His harvest is a quiet mind which he prefers to being possessed by God, as he does comfort to pleasure, convenience to liberty, and a pleasant temperature to that deathly inner consuming fire. The bourgeois is consequently by nature a creature of weak impulses; anxious, fearful of giving himself away and easy to rule. Therefore, he has substituted majority for power, law for force, and the polling booth for responsibility.
[Der Bürger nun schätzt nichts höher als das Ich (ein nur rudimentär entwickeltes Ich allerdings). Auf Kosten der Intensität also erreicht er Erhaltung und Sicherheit, statt Gottbesessenheit erntet er Gewissensruhe, statt Lust Behagen, statt Freiheit Bequemlichkeit, statt tödlicher Glut eine angenehme Temperatur. Der Bürger ist deshalb seinem Wesen nach ein Geschöpf von schwachem Lebensantrieb, ängstlich, jede Preisgabe seiner selbst fürchtend, leicht zu regieren. Er hat darum an Stelle der Macht die Majorität gesetzt, an Stelle der Gewalt das Gesetz, an Stelle der Verantwortung das Abstimmungsverfahren.]Herman Hesse (1877-1962) German-born Swiss poet, novelist, painter

Democracy is a three-body problem to orders of magnitude.
Newton's clean equations work with two bodies. Add a third, and chaos sets in—no stable orbit, no final answer. Condorcet showed the same instability in voting: even perfectly rational citizens can produce collective contradictions.https://philosophics.blog/2025/10/03/democracy-and-the-millions-body-problem/

@marcelias I'd say it's rebellion 2.0 by former (?) slaveholder states.
They may see it being called "defiance" as weakness.

THERE ARE NOW *THREE* POLITICAL PARTIES in our federal gov't: #Democrats, #Republicans, and the #Maga Party (a breakaway faction of the #GOP.)
Our gov't was not designed to handle 3 Parties at once. It was designed as a "50%+1" #MajorityRule system.
If this is to continue, WE MUST switch to a #RankChoiceVoting system at ALL levels or it will become IMPOSSIBLE to govern, with no one Party ever able to pass legislation with over 50% of the vote (short of a landslide election.)
