A dictator can follow the will of the people if he wants to.

What if 51% vote to euthanize all colored people?
That’s a totalitarian democracy.

In the end it depends on one’s definitions I think.

A "democracy" is a representative government (i.e., the people have a legal right to representation).

A situation where a dictator may choose to "listen" to the people on an issue but still retains full power is NOT a democracy, is it?
