Everything you’ve listed here was a choice made ultimately via the process of following democratic procedures. Everything you listed can also be undone via democratic procedure.

Are you arguing that since voters elect representatives, voters are ultimately responsible for everything those representatives do, even if it is contrary to the interests and desires of those who voted for them?
