Was it... the Persians? Maybe? Anyway, they had to make two choices on any decision, once when drunk and again sober a few days later. If rhe choice was the same both times it was deemed a good idea.
I have zero idea if this is fact, but it sounds similar to your idea.
Making a second decision mandatory makes it harder to change existing laws. This can be a good thing in some cases, but not always. It increases conservatism (in that it's harder to change things).

Perhaps, though I’d be very concerned for mob mentality. Social media is famously reactive.

I really hope it's not some fever dream, or total bullshit, but it kind of makes sense. I'll see if I can find some facts on it.
Here is a link talking about it, so maybe it's plausible?

Yeah no....as much as our current system sucks, I'd rather have some sort of a buffer before full on mob rule.
People are dumb, panicky, dangerous animals...and you know it.
Full on direct democracy sounds like a good idea. Until you realize it's two wolves and a sheep making dinner plans.

Nah it's more like the wolves lawyers and the sheep's lawyers fight it out. Like a proxy war.

Ironically as libertarian (not capitalist) I guess I want BIGGEST government.
