Unfortunately, in a democracy, there is no requirement that the voters be

And this is why the founding fathers did not want a true democracy
for this nation, rather a Democratic Republic. Starting with FDR,
liberals have been struggling mightly to slowly and inexhorably
convert it to a Democracy, AKA 'Mob Rule'.
