So sure, I'm not saying 100% of people voted for this. The "you" in this context is 2nd person plural; the collective "you".
As you note, democracy is the will of the majority imposed on the minority. Personally I'm not convinced that's a great approach, but I'm also not a fan of minority rule either. Ultimately I guess, whenever there are choices to be made, someone's not going to like the outcomes.
I sympathize with your current plight. Welcome to the minority. My only approach at this point is to keep reminding people that they chose this, that their vote matters. Perhaps when people understand that causal link then they'll make better choices in their own interest. (Whom I kidding right?)
