“DEMOCRACY Because you’re outnumbered so fuck your individual rights”

“DEMOCRACY Because you’re outnumbered so fuck your individual rights” (shown on a bumper sticker) was posted on Facebook by Thomas Björling on April 23, 2021. It’s not known who originated the bumper sticker.
   
The saying means that “democracy” is all about the rights of the majority. If you’re in the minority, you don’t have any rights.
   
“DEMOCRACY A system that operates on the premise that your individual rights don’t exist simply because you’re outnumbered” is a similar saying.

Majority rule is basically bullying. “It’s time for Rome to become a republic again!” -Augustus? Caesar, Gladiator
