And what's the message of this? What kind of consequences are suggested to follow this cognition?

I guess prepare to have your organs tapped by the switch blade of tyranny.

But mainly it’s about the oppression of the minority by the majority.

the message is that the people voting need to be educated, and democracy doesn't guarantee best results.

The message of the comic strip is that democracy doesn't guarantee the best results.

FWIW, this comic vastly predates the last couple of years - it was published in the 1997-2002 range.
