@gabriel Does this not imply republicans are against (representative) democracy?

@ghast
I'm not very well versed in what specifically you may mean by saying republicans here, do you mean the 'red team' in American politics? Or are you talking about the broader political theory?
Either way, I'd argue that tyranny of the majority can be it's own attack on the demos, therefore un-democratic.

@gabriel I guess I'd have to ask you to define "demos", then. Perhaps I misunderstood.

@ghast
Demos meaning the people that make up the nation.
Referencing the ancient greek word.
