If people understood that democracy is dictatorship, they would get rid of democracy. Here's how it works. The majority wins over the minority, thereby making slaves out of them. Then - in a country as large as the USA - the majority hands over their requirements to a small group to implement the things they won the vote on. The group never does what the majority wants, partially because the majority never meant the same thing when they voted. So, we have dictatorship by the tiny group.
