Do we now suffer under the tyranny of two majorities? Is that even possible?
I am finding Tocqueville chock full of insight but a difficult and slow read. I think Tocqueville overstates the case for everyone accepting a majority's passed judgment.
Also, I have not read all of the Federalist Papers, but it seemed to me that the authors didn't worry too much about the slow expansion of bureaucracy and government programs.

To what two majorities are you referring? Two majorities can exist in separate realms, but one question cannot have two majority opinions.
I was thinking about Democrats and Republicans in the political sphere. Apart from two or three Representatives everyone in office belongs to one of the two parties. Third party candidates and critiques are rare.
