Fascism results, not from popular choice, but instead from a narrowing of choices and the exclusion of dissent. When dissent is heard, and it is seen to be valid then Fascism fails.
Very often, a complaint is not heard for the presumption that it comes (from a source, theology) allied with other prejudices. The complainant is smeared as being aligned with other less acceptable views. When contradictions of a particular policy are heard in isolation and not conflated with other views (which may be prejudiced) then liberty emerges. Tribalism damages this process.
We do not need to be protected from Democracy.
Democracy should be proportional. Votes don't count for much in "safe" jurisdictions in a winner takes all (First Past The Post) system.
