On the one hand, they're confident that democracy will cause everything to work out ok. We're just going to figure out what most people want and do that, right? On the other hand, they can't stand the idea of certain kinds of people getting power democratically.

Which is it? Will democracy make everything work out ok, or will majorities run roughshod over minorities? If it's the latter, why not try borders? Different political entities could work for different groups.

If you think democracy will make everything work out, why do you want to disenfranchise or exterminate some set of voters?

These people actually think that immigrants will simply adopt American democratic/liberal values and that everyone will just get along. Have they looked at racial voting patterns?

Why are people so opposed to letting hated group x (eg white supremacists) have some area where they can do their thing and you don't have to be bothered by them?

This, but sadly we know why; if you give them their own space, you can't control them. I'm all for Freedom of Association.

Remember when America was slightly more inclined toward the idea that you shouldn't be trying to control people?

I mean, I've read about it in those olde-timey paper books they used to make back then.
