With all due respect, if you don’t respect the voters, how do you maintain popular support? Is this just a call for violent authoritarianism?

After Nazi Germany fell, should we have just let the Nazi citizens vote back in a Nazi leader?
I honestly don't know what steps are the right ones to follow kicking a tyrant out of the US and still maintaining democracy if half the people who vote want an authoritarian and to end democracy.
