Who is waving the democracy flag? Certainly not me. I'm waving the fourteenth-amendment equal-protection flag. The United States isn't a (pure) democracy. Never has been, never will be. Thank goodness.

You're actually waving the tyranny-of-the-majority flag, in favor of equal protection for minorities. I'm not even honestly sure what to call that.

Call it what you like. I'll call it the Equal Protection Clause of the fourteenth amendment to the Constitution of the United States of America.
