> Democracy, in it's purest form, is about mob rule --majority rule, if you want to say it in a softer/kinder way.

You're just parroting an old urban myth.

The terminus technicus for mob rule is ochlocracy [1]; democracy, per se, includes minority protections (i. e. if it doesn't then it isn't a democracy to begin with).
