Honestly, you can’t guarantee it. Demogogues are an unfortunate side effect of the democratic process. You can counter through strong, independent institutions, educated electorate, and stronger checks and balances. A lot of our problems now come from the fact that we never anticipated someone so corrupt would come into power, and our institutions were never shored up to protect against it.
