The selective, self-serving invocation of democratic principles only when they benefit one's side, while ignoring or suppressing those same principles when they would lead to an undesirable outcome. It's a rhetorical strategy that treats democracy as a buffet, not a consistent commitment. "The people have decided!" is shouted in victory, but "The people are misinformed!" or "The system is rigged!" is the cry in defeat.
