Definition of democracy:

a : government by the people; especially : rule of the majority
b : a government in which the supreme power is vested in the people and exercised by them directly or indirectly through a system of representation usually involving periodically held free elections

You see, the way this is supposed to work is that we all vote and then whoever gets the most votes gets to lead the country.

The people should then all get behind the majority and support the country and it's leaders at least until the next election.

People who do not support the majority's right to lead do not support democracy and are called anarchists.

We are not a democracy, "mob rule". We are a Republic.

Are we a republic or a democracy?
