the constitution prevents the US from becoming a theocracy.
Yes, a country can vote itself a non-democratic government. Hell, ALL dictators are granted their authority and power by the people. It is almost always given freely for the sake of imagined security. Only later do the people recognize the monster they've created...
Russia intentionally entered communism, Cuba has. Germany embraced the Nazi party. many many more.... and in all cases they took quite some time to recognize the reality. Even the Roman Empire got where it was with Glee... and in each case, so far, eventual collapse. (okay don't shoot me now, I mean I suppose EVENTUALLY everything will collapse, but I think my point is the same....)
