This quote is misattributed to Thomas Jefferson. https://www.snopes.com/fact-check/jefferson-mob-rule-quote/ There's no evidence that Jefferson ever said or wrote the remark theorizing about the make up of a democracy. According to a search of Google Books, the "mob rule" part of the quote may have come from author Michael Cody.

Tweet embedding is no longer reliably available, due to the platform's instability (in terms of both technology and policy). If the Tweet still exists, you can view it here: https://twitter.com/foo_bar/status/1868420144814325969
Please note, though, that you may need to have your own Twitter account to access that page. I am currently exploring options for archiving Tweet data in a post-API context.
