As Retro has explained before, by protesting the results of the election Trump revealed he is a democrat, albeit a dishonest one. If he wasn’t, he wouldn’t have cared about the election results, and would’ve declared himself the rightful leader with or without the demos support. Protesting the results showed he only feels legitimised as a leader if the demos support him, while a true autocrat wouldn’t care what the demos wanted and would feel legitimised based on their character and ability. If Trump was an autocrat, he would’ve declared himself president for life when he had the chance, but he didn’t, which shows us he had no intention to and was just trying to encourage his supporters.
That isn’t to say, however, that there aren’t rightists who would use autocracy to get what they wanted, but that’s only until they exterminate us leftists. Traditionalists argue that women and non-whites should have never been given the right to vote; this tells us that they don’t have a problem with democracy itself, only with suffrage. Because democracy is the tyranny of the mob, and that tyranny is harder to enact when the people you want to tyrannise can vote against your tyranny.
