I think I agree with you, since democracy is clearly compatible with both socialism and tyranny, but I wouldn't mind if you give an example of "states rights majority rule democracy."

Sure:
The currant laws prohibiting 'assault weapons' as passed by my socialist majority peers in California.
Ca has no RKBA provision in its constitution, thus the state claims the 'right' to prohibit.

Amazingly enough, dozens of otherwise sane FReeper 'conservatives' agree with this madness, because it serves other single issue goals.

Indeed I am. In my five years of arguing this point at FR, far more than 'dozens' have used such prohibitory states rights arguments/tactics to advance single issue agendas. - They know not what they do, imo.
