Schools that limit or eliminate something deemed offensive by one person gets accomplished.
A small group that voices opposition to a writing or book or representation they do not like gets approval.
Then the larger issues like ACA where the majority of Americans were against it and it was passed (before read!).
And currently the the Iran nuclear agreement that most of Americans are against is being pushed even with threats by Obama.
So no, based on the current political, special interest, lobbyists and minority group progress I do not believe the majority rules as it once did.
And I do embrace the statement made by the poster quoted above:
LIKE IT OR NOT!!

As long as 90 percent of Americans supported national background checks after the Connecticut killings of our children and NOTHING got done, then you can easily say that the numerical majority no longer has a chance to succeed, however the financial majority, those with BIG money, will always win.
