Say you have a democratically elected anti-democratic party. Or even a large minority party. It's usually not so straightforward because democracies & demi-democracies normally disallow these. But they do exist. Currently theocratic movements lead the trend.
If you allow these to run, you get a theocracy. If you disallow it, you no longer have a democracy. As long as they're small you can suppress them in the name of defending democracy. But defending democracy against the demos really ends democracy if it is in any way substantial.
