This line of thinking has me gravely concerned for the future of liberal democracy.

I don't know where parent lives in the world, but from my perspective in the United States, I deeply fear that there are many Americans who would support an anti-democratic coup (or mob) in a heartbeat so long as it aligned with enough of their political sentiments.

Edit: maybe parent is a little too-secretly sarcastic, but even so I suspect many others think like this unironically.
