Yeah, I put the "anti democracy" in quotes bc I wasn't quite sure. I'm looking for a term for this sentiment. Any suggestions?

I'm not sure libertarianism, conservativity or "right wing" hit the mark either. It is a strong sentiment anyway.

Perhaps "anti democracy" fits better when the thinking in question gets exported and adapted to this side of the pond.

Here most governments are mostly relatively functional, representative and quite a bit more socialistic too. Here the thinking I'm referring to tends to manifest as distrust of government and media, skipping voting or giving "protest votes" to strange fringe parties all contributing to the erosion of the said strong and representative government.

I was also a little bit thinking about USA when I added the "at least it should be". I can see the point better in that situation, though I can't completely agree. I would add erosion of public education to the list of things to get rid of btw.
