Democracy is tyranny of the majority. Is there reason to presume that 51% will always be more righteous than the other 49%?

Probably a benevolent and fair dictator would be preferable to a democracy. Try finding one though.

As I said, not a democrat. Authoritarian and stupid.

Quite so. Movements to undermine democracy have a significant history. You are aligned to one such movement.

i have listed before now a list of the democracies undermined and violently subverted by the USA. The big deal now is undermining of your own democracy.
