      The American right-wing doesn’t care about Democracy. It only supports democratic institutions when the demographics benefit them. While it feels out of place, this sort of behaviour is in my view, more in line with American history than you’d think. It took the Supreme Court multiple times to get the states to follow it whenever it ruled in favour of people, rights, and freedom in the 1800s, but whenever it ruled that slaves weren’t people, those rulings were of course respected.
