You're committing the post hoc, ergo propter hoc fallacy. Lots of damage has occurred since the advent of democracy. It doesn't necessarily follow that democracy caused this harm. I would argue that this is not the case. Good things have come from democracy: the idea that people deserve a voice in their governance, the idea of human rights, social safety nets, etc.

And what of the deception of democracies as I pointed out earlier? I'll mull over the evidence that monarchies were worse, but I still don't see it.

I don't see deception of populations as worse than the deceptions of older governments. It's a difference of choice of cloak. One chooses human rights and national security, and another used the language of religion. On the occasion of governments that weren't directly deceptive, I'd argue that this is worse. This indicates a government that feels so secure in its power and control that it can exhibit naked greed or malice. That they have to cloak themselves in the language of liberty is a step in the right direction, as it means they feel the need to at least pay lip service to the desires of the people.
