I agree with you that generalising about political or cultural decisions is risky and simplistic. Often, as you rightly point out, majorities are not so broad or definitive, and interests within a nation are diverse. I think you are right to emphasise that, beyond superficial differences, the majority simply seeks to live well. I think it is key to remember this in order to avoid falling into excessive polarisation and to have constructive dialogues, even when our perspectives vary, which is common to our diversity.
