Peter Thiel literally believes that democracy is incompatible with freedom.
There are people in SV who are neo-fascists. Some of them sit on the Facebook board.

Nothing make a democracy inherently good since the will of the people can be to do bad things, including reducing freedom. Blacks learned this for 100 years after they were technically set free. Like they say, Democracy is the worst form of government, except for all the others.
