@tiffany Democracy only works when everyone is smart: which isn't the case. People in power know this, and convince everyone that democracy is the only good and fair way for government to work, so that then they can use the sheer numbers of dumb, easily influenced people to justify their actions. When someone points this out, that person is accused of being some sort of authoritarian dictator or a destabilizing revolutionary, or some other adjective so that the rest don't figure it out.
