If they want totalitarianism, and the system does not give them the system they want... that's ignoring the will of the people in favor of a government's unilateral idea of what is "good for them," another form of totalitarianism.
Customarily I am
against government deciding what's good for anyone; it is incompetent to do so and, in a properly-governed United
States, it is constitutionally enjoined against doing so. I should oppose with equal passion a government refusing to reject the will of a mob
when that will would abrogate freedom
and a majority mob that would do likewise. The mischief into which the courts sink notwithstanding,
and often I wonder whether we cry "judicial tyranny" not because a court has actually committed it but because it ruled contrary to the passion
of the moment, I should think the courts must revert to their core assignment of standing athwart
both a government that oversteps its
properly construed bounds
and a majority mob that would obstruct or abrogate freedom, even its own.
Vox populi is no further
vox
Dei than the government and/or its chief executive is
vox Dei.
