Totalitarian democracy

Totalitarian democracy is not actually a real thing. It is impossible for a government to be both totalitarian and a democracy at the same time. Totalitarianism means a form of government where a single powerful person or group takes total control over a country, while democracy is a form of government where the people have a say in the decision-making process. The two are not compatible because, in a democracy, the people have the power to make their own decisions, whereas in a totalitarian government, only one person or group decides what happens.
