I’ll make my case at the top. We’re are still a democracy. We the people are still the Government and the authority of that government. We the People decide what is and isn’t a right, not a small group of people who don’t want to pay for something. The Constitution doesn’t grant rights, it protects them from tyranny, and states unequivocally, to those who would deny and ignore them, that our rights our innate and unalienable. It is the duty of those elected to institute and protect those rights we collectively decide we have. This is why voting is so important, more than anything, our Constitutionally protected rights can be sublimated or away if we abdicate or right to self determination and don’t vote we can lose them to someone like Donald Trump and other authoritarians who would make this country nothing more than a low wage employment agency.
