democracy is mob rule.

Freedom is rule by law, in a republic, where rights of individuals and society are clearly defined and upheld, and the role of government is defined and limited.

Um hum. Too bad that’s not what this guy means, and I wonder if you mean it either.

What he means is that the elites no longer control us, dammit.

BTW, democracy is only “mob rule” if the rights of the people are not protected. The Greeks had a name for democracy that was perfectly good and moral: the polis. And that’s what we are seeing in action.
