You're just making an argument that you don't value freedom as much as others, and that's fine. It's just not relevant to the point. The point is that by definition freedom is incompatible with democracy. In democracy, state power (the proxy power of others over you) only grows. That erodes freedom, definitionally. I have no interest in convincing you to become an anarchist or a libertarian or whatever, I was just correcting this false notion that the two can be compatible long term. They are oil and water, over time the separation between them grows.
