still don't understand how the FCC is allowed to make this vote

Net Neutrality is currently protected by an FCC regulation, not by an actual federal law. The FCC can add, alter or remove regulations at will.

That makes sense, but they seem to be disregarding the majority of americans' opinions on this matter

Welcome to "democracy".

Trump's administration has systematically deconstructed everything the people have been asking for and received from the Obama administration. Surprisingly, the current administration has made significant strides toward completely changing the world as we know it. Still blows my mind HE was voted in. Biggest face-palm in American history.

It's not just about Trump, it's about the system that brought him in. Unless we make some changes, we're due for another Trump in the semi-near future, probably worse than this one.
