In a pure democracy, it is indeed possible for 51% to take away the rights of the 49%.

In the United States, we do not live in a pure democracy. The Founding Fathers brilliantly created a democratic republic. The Electoral College is the cornerstone. It cannot be taken away without an Amendment to the Constitution which is not too easy a task.
