No, it's just the truth. Trump, Elon and the people they surround themselves with have gone out of their way to paint democracy as a broken system that keeps power out of the hands of "strong" leaders. Whether it's praising dictators for imprisoning their opponents, boosting "Dark Enlightenment" posts, or casting doubt on our election because a drunk Rudy Guliani whispered it to them, these are not people that give a fuck about democracy.
That there are still people that think these are jokes or "not what they really mean" speaks to a fundamental cognitive dissonance that can't be repaired. Their intention is right in front of you. It's just a question of who will enable their vision.
As a side note, your post is no better than the one you replied to. "That's a reddit thing to say" is just as reductive. Maybe being an adult means realizing not everyone has to tip toe around reality.
