This is not the greatest sig in the world, no. This is just a tribute.
you have to be overly ideological to the point where you're up your own ass to think democracy is bad.
What a ridiculous and arrogant notion.

To put it in simple terms.  Democracy = freedom . Freedom = good.
Democracy = populism
populism = the oppression of non-majority ideas and the ruling of soccer mom hysteria
sounds like a perfect society.
I refuse to live in a styrofoam padded world where everything that's remotely scary is banned on sight.
You're implying that's the popular opinion.  That's why rival parties and views exist to influence popular opinion.
It is the popular opinion. An our only option to combat the lunacy of the democratic party is to ally with equally insane factions, such as the NRA and other conservative interest groups, even if the expressed views of these organizations are far more extreme than our own.

True rival parties and ideas are quickly demonized via propaganda, then suppressed via policy.

The propaganda machine is so efficient you don't even realize it's propaganda. There is an illusion of freedom, and illusion of choice. But it isn't real. You are allowed to choose from a very narrow ideological spectrum, and risk ostracization or criminality if you go beyond that spectrum.
choosing from a "narrow ideological  spectrum " beats having none to choose from.
