Meme-ory hole kindling.
“Real liberty is not found in the extremes of democracy, but in moderate governments,” Alexander Hamilton wrote. “If we incline too much to democracy we shall soon shoot into a monarchy, or some other form of a dictatorship.”
“a democracy is nothing more than mob rule, where 51 percent of the people may take away the rights of the other 49.”- Thomas Jefferson
"democracies have ever been spectacles of turbulence and contention; have ever been incompatible with personal security or the rights of property; and have in general been as short in their lives as they have been violent in their deaths.” - James Madison
"democracy never lasts long. It soon wastes, exhausts and murders itself. There never was a democracy yet that did not commit suicide.” -John Adams
Majority rule, plus many other names it goes by. Many of them end in "ism".
