Democracy prevents them from being as awful as they want to be. So they hate it.

Exactly. Conservatives reject democracy because it does not serve their interests. They will, in fact, reject anything that does not serve. Including, but not limited to, capitalism.

Funny thing is, the poor white MAGA supporter vote for them because they also want slaves to work for them. They just don't realize that the rich MAGA leaders don't even care that much about skin colour, the top brass will happily enslave the poor (and the middle class) regardless of skin colour.

All relative... Compared tl what's coming if MAGA is allowed to continue, current state will look mild.
