Dystopic Journal, Elections-- a threat to democracy?

A clip from the LR Podcast:
Democrats extol the virtues of democracy constantly, but somehow, democratically elected leaders who refuse to follow their leftist agenda, are labeled threats to democracy. Robert Fico, Prime Minister of Slovakia who just survived an assassination attempt, is one such person. He depicted at a far-right extremists, sometimes even a fascist. Somehow, a populist leader who was democratically elected to his position several time by the people, is considered a threat to democracy. These same people have no problem with non-citizens voting.
