Democracy should not be 51 wolves and 50 lambs deciding what's for dinner - and the only reason that we are in this situation is because of the New Left of the 1960s and the backlash they provoked, which directly led to Reaganomics, which has remained palpably intact for four decades despite having been debunked as totally fallacious.
And a comparison to the situation that we're in and the situation that Ukraine was in 80 years ago is eerily analogous: In the wake of the Holomodor, when the Nazis facilitated Operation Barbarossa in 1941, the Ukrainians regarded the Nazis as the enemies of their enemies, and therefore, their friends. This in turn led to the Ukrainians regarding the Jews as the enemies of the enemies of their enemies, and therefore, their enemies too - which is why the Ukrainians enthusiastically collaborated with the Nazis, volunteering to guard Nazi death camps like Treblinka and Sobibor, and participating in such massacres as the one at Babi Yar.
In a similar vein, those who voted for Ronald Reagan openly cheered Reagan's mass firing of the air traffic controllers in 1981, on the same theory that the enemy of the enemy of my enemy is my enemy, too.

"These, and many other matters which might be noticed, add a volume of unofficial declarations to the mass of organic utterances that this is a Christian nation" - Justice David Brewer, Church of the Holy Trinity v. United States, 1892
