    Democracy has some value as a good in itself, but it is decidedly secondary to liberty. Its chief virtue is being, in Churchill's words, the worst form of government except all the others that have been tried.https://twitter.com/davidharsanyi/status/1381682033307553797 …

    I'm not pro democracy, I am pro freedom. If democracy erodes freedom than it's not something to celebrate.

        For some unspecified value of "quickly" I see. Nevertheless, this concern is why American democracy was crafted on the principle of majority rule, with minority rights. There are bedrock conditions in our society that mobs aren't allowed to trample over.

        Republicans would rather turn to authoritarianism than try to win over voters.

        There's no better guarantor of liberty than a good dictator. I see virtually no risk that a nominally pro-liberty dictator or oligarch might decide to alter the bargain once we give them absolute power, so let's try it...
