His principles say that some things we consider good are bad and need to be enforced (unless you actually do think Lewis would permit gay marriage and polygamy if he ran the country).
No country permited gay marrige until about 20 years ago and western countries haven’t permitted polygammy for millenia. Are you saying they were all tyranical?
It’s “tyranny” in the sense that Lewis describes: using force to be a moral busybody.
It may not be tyranny if by tyranny if your definition of tyranny requires a certain amount of being a moral busybody, and just a little bit isn’t enough to count as tyranny. I suspect that this is the definition you’re using, but Lewis’s definition doesn’t contain a quantity threshhold.
