He seems to support making the US a theocracy

Nope. You were closer with majoritarian as long as the majority agrees with him.

Yes, I realized that as I wrote it. But I left in the earlier part because there are also people who wouldn't mind seeing that.

The Bill of Rights, as well as certain portions of the Constitution were written *specifically* to prevent the Majority from bringing tyranny. However, it was understood that over time, the majority would eventually get its way. The Founding Fathers, knowing this, admitted they were taking a risk by *trusting* the People be able to handle wisely the power the Constitution made manifest (as the People have always had it.)

I leave it to the reader to decide how well we've managed the power made manifest by the Constitution.

And getting the majority to agree with him -- why, that's just a simple matter of applying prison sentences and death penalties to enough of the Non-Jihadists to reduce the sample size down to a comfortably Jihadist majority. ;-)
