I know exactly what you mean -- I keep revisiting the man who would one day spout out against "judicial activism" (say, in the anti-discrimination laws being struck down) and literally the next day be celebrating the anniversary of Brown v. Board....
I can't say democracy is the best system of government (even, as Churchill suggested, that it's the worst, "except for all the others"), but it does have the sole trait of giving the people the government they deserve. (I'd have been amused if countries would've reacted to the US post-2004 as we did to the Palestinians post-Hamas-election. But we have cruise missiles.)

People are stupid, and the more, the stupider.
