I thought the whole idea of a democracy was that the population gets to vote for their preferred candidate, safe from coercion, and the minority, unable to elect their candidate, implicitly agrees to abide by the decision of the majority until the next election as long as their rights were respected. I assumed (I’m not American) that the Constitution was designed to make sure the majority wasn’t able to subvert the political process and a corollary to this was that the minority’s rights were thus protected.

Can anyone show me how the rights of the far, far, far right have been threatened to a degree that the agreement has been broken?
