There was a satirical comedy in the '60s about that. The anti-hero gets elected on a promise of total democracy, which turns out to mean that everyone's TV keeps lighting up with a demand that they vote on some issue or other that nobody gives a shit about. After a few months of that, he gets them to elect him dictator just so they can stop being asked to vote.
