There's more to democracy than the tyranny of the majority. Didn't Hungary (and Poland) also destroy their independent court system?

A pure democracy is literally tyranny of the majority. Anything restricting that tyranny is anti-democratic. Wholly necessary as well in view.
Most people don't define democracy that way. For example, consider the EU's reaction to Poland and Hungary destroying their court systems, not to mention refusing to obey EU court decisions.
The EU isn't a democracy.
