Democracy leads to tyranny. You're immediately fractioning off groups and pitting them against each other. Under democracy politicians can pretend everything they do is the will of the people and it stifles any pushback. Louis the 14 who said "I am the state" was far more liberal than anything we have today. He couldn't draft subjects into the military, compel people to give a financial audit on themselves every year, and if he tried to ban wine the people would overthrow him immediately.
Democracy can only hope to remove the corrupted, not the corruption. The problems we face are systemic. Killing one health care CEO changes nothing. Getting rid of George soros will do nothing. JFK and Reagan were targeted because they went against the system. You will never convince women to vote to repeal the 19th amendment. You cannot change the system from inside the system.
"Monarchs can sometimes be Nero or sometimes be a Titus or Marcus Aurelius . The people are often Nero and NEVER Marcus Aurelius."
