A lot of the decision of oligarchy vs democracy revolves around whether people approach life’s decisions heavily weighed towards emotional attachment or analytical reflection. Usually, if a group of people believe that they want an authoritarian strongman to lead them, it most often arises out of an unthinking emotional attachment that they later regret when faced with the reality of having a psychopathic leader. The emotional attachment is so strong that it’s as if the individual’s adorations make them feel as if they and their “leader” are somehow spiritually tied together. It’s almost as if it’s a kind of mental stalking that makes the person feel that the autocratic leader is both a “man” who needs no other person, while living under the illusion that they can be almost friends (comrades?) against all others who may do them personal harm. They quickly find out that being governed oligarchically is only an advantage for the various leaders, but by that time they are often wishing - either outwardly (if they dare to) or inwardly with great regret - that they should’ve “got the Covid shot.” Folks that happily go about waving their guns have a surprise awaiting them and their authoritarian dreams when the supreme leader of any large population will never allow the people that they are ruling have free access to arms. If these idiots really think the Dems want to take away their guns, they’ll have a whole lot of sweating to do when their favorite despot becomes ruler.
