Just a point of clarification, that is what mob rule looks like.  The reason the men who established the government of this nation chose to structure it as a republic with strong constraints on mere majorities was because they had studied history and knew the hazards of tyranny, whether the tyranny of the despot or the tyranny of the majority.  Those who chose to be willfully ignorant of history may revel in the power of the mob and call it democracy, but ignorance has no impact on reality.
