That’s a phrase I’ve never heard before: “too much of democracy”.

This is just “The best government is a benevolent autocracy” without the second half, which is “the next best government is democracy”. And the unsaid part of the saying is “The worst government is a malicious autocracy”, which is an eventual certainty.

Democracy has it’s problems, but it’s better than anything else we can realistically implement.
