Rotating majorities make temporary usurpation self-defeating and therefore rare.

Evidence

It might be apprehended, that where parties existed, those who found themselves one day in superior force, would abuse this superiority to the production of a decree contrary to the will of the majority. But this danger is not great; for the majority of to-morrow would reverse the decree of the past day, and the victory usurped by the weaker party would be changed into disgraceful defeat. — Adrian Vermeule, Absolute Voting Rules, 433

• DEEPTHINKING: Reframes majoritarian abuse as self-limiting through time, an idea worth chewing on against contemporary entrenchment debates.
• APHORISMS: Reads as durable political wisdom: today’s usurped victory becomes tomorrow’s disgraceful defeat.
