But the US voted him to be in charge of the the US military and he is US business establishment of the highest order, so if he was democratically elected, then in your view his opinion is totally correct and anyone who disagrees is a moaner.
...isn’t that your rules about the Brexit referendum?
I feel I should reply to your incoherent mess of an argument but I just don't know what to say. Well done, your stupid has beaten me.
Lets start with just one. Carrying on with votes until the expected result is produced.
Oh? Where did that happen?
(Note: please don’t just parrot “Ireland” without realising that their No votes resulted in changes to the treaty. It wasn’t just “vote until you get it right”)

Even if this happened, which it didn't, it wouldn't classify as a tyranny. In a Tyranny no vote would happen in the first place or if one would happen the result would be 99.9% in favor of whoever organised it Like North Korea or Russia (who massively supported brexit)

They voted against. That should have been the end of it for a generation.

Of course, the UK never got a vote.....
Then you simply don’t understand how it all works.
Ireland voted against, the treaties were changed, they voted again because the treaties were now acceptable. That’s how democracy should work. Ireland got a referendum vote because this is what their constitution states.
The UK general public didn’t get a vote because, unlike Ireland, there is no constitution that requires it. You have voted in your representative to make decisions on your behalf. If you don’t like those decisions you can vote them out, and if enough people really don’t like those decisions then the government may change their mind early enough in advance to prevent losing MPs at the next election.
Democracy is not a one-time activity, why on earth would you think that a single decision needs to last for a generation?
