      You could have read down the thread. There were multiple states with Jim Crow laws & very significant white majorities or supermajorities - as well as a national supermajority.https://twitter.com/baseballcrank/status/1381703566189080583 …

      If you concede that it is possible for a majority to do bad things, you have already conceded 100% of my argument. Or to take another one you would not like: all the statewide majorities that passed anti-SSM constitutional amendments. Even in California in 2008.

          I'm basically a "majority rules with important exceptions of Const rights and the Senate" guy. With the exception of those important guardrails (I'm lukewarm on the Senate) the idea that "majorities sometimes like bad things and therefore minoritarian govt is good" is TERRIBLE.

          Stop using black people to make your arguments. Leave us out of it unless you actually ask or value what we think on the matter

          >If you concede that it is possible for a majority to do bad things, you have already conceded 100% of my argument. This is not the language of a trial in an analytical sense. With that logic I can say Dads can be awesome dads or they can beat their children. The real question

          is why Women did not murder the Worse of us during the night, after all knives are prevalent today and in medieval society and all men must sleep as Hobbes would say.

          That’s why people think it’s embarrassing that you picked an obviously bad example.

          "Majorities can do bad things" does not equate to "Jim Crow wouldn't have happened if there was less democracy"

          Real majoritarian impulse here https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Colfax_massacre … It was the tyranny of the majority that made all those racists do terror campaigns against the freedmen
