Technically. Most western societies have developed ways to mitigate as much of the mob rule as possible by decentralising governmental powers as much as possible. America did it greatest by becoming a Constitutional Republic so there's as much power in the hands of the people as possible, but even that system has become corrupted, specially from the 1920's

Side: Yep

Ok, the majority of population are ignorant. And that means our laws and elected officials will be decided on by IGNORANT and UNEDUCATED people . NOT GOOD!!!

The smartest 1% should be our leaders

The USA Party of Democrats do not aim for 'pure' democracy to this extreme. They do aim for a dilution with higher percent democracy than 'each for themselves'.

Like freedom of speech

But you interpret this to mean freedom to lie, distort and manipulate the truth in order to incite hatred against specific political and/or religious groups. In actual fact, this kind of speech is illegal in the US, and the case law proves it.
