@TheChief Wait, what? That doesn't make logical sense.
People are (unfortunately, from my point of view) perfectly capable of voting a fascist into power. It's happened before.
The process by which the fascist came to power may not have been undemocratic; the views he propounds and the changes he makes, or tries to make, to the government are, however, certainly undemocratic.
I mean, your assertion doesn't even make sense -- unless you're suggesting that only candidates with democratic views are _allowed_ to run for office in a democracy? (Which would certainly make it difficult to explain the existence of a lot of the far-right parties in Europe, much less the way the American right-wing keep accusing all American Democratic politicians of being "socialists." XD )
