First an foremost, I don't care about democracy that much.

I would rather have king that respected my individual rights than 60% of the population that don't.

There is nothing mutually exclusive about democracy and tyranny. One of our underlying problems is that our media thinks democracy is a synonym for freedom.

Amen, brother. Amen.

>>>I would rather have king that respected my individual rights than 60% of the population that don’t.<<<

Too bad. That is a kind of thinking leading to tyranny.
King is not obliged to respect your individual rights, he is a master and you are his subject. It is pure stupidity to subdue yourself to something like that, which can respect your rights or not depending on it’s own will.
No matter how flawed a democracy can be, it has a mechanism to protect freedoms of individuals.
As any other tool, democracy might be abused or used improperly but it doesn’t mean you have to reject it for that reason.
