Man is incapable of self rule beyond a generation. WORSHIP of INDIVIDUAL FREEDOM over biblical morality will inevitably lead to anarchy/chaos and from that a strongman is needed to restore order.
Put me in the camp that follows GOD and not INDIVIDUAL FREEDOM ABOVE ALL

The belief that democracy leads to anarchy is a classical political theory, famously argued by Plato and echoed by figures like John Adams, suggesting that excessive freedom and lack of strict leadership in a democracy breed chaos, mob rule, and eventually, tyranny. Critics argue that prioritizing individual freedom leads to social breakdown.
Plato’s Perspective: Plato viewed "pure" democracy as a system where the masses, lacking governing skill, create a chaotic environment (anarchy). This turmoil makes citizens susceptible to following a strongman, allowing democracy to decay into tyranny.
John Adams’ View: Adams believed democracy holds no lasting power, claiming it would "waste, exhaust and murder itself," leading to an anarchy where individual self-interest destroys safety and property.
The Transition: Modern interpreters of this theory argue that democracy's downfall is driven by the rise of demagogues, gridlock, and the erosion of liberal constraints (like the protection of individual rights).
Anarchist Critique: Conversely, some anarchists argue that democracy is already a form of coercion ("mobocracy") and that true liberty requires the removal of all hierarchy, not just the transition from democracy to anarchy.
While historical philosophers and critics have long argued that democratic systems contain the seeds of their own destruction, others view democracy's flexibility as its strength in maintaining order.
