If someone has to save democracy by destroying it through thwarting its democratic processes, did they really save democracy?

To be clear, I do not welcome the resurgence of the far-right. But blaming voters for voting in ways you might not prefer is like a movie director blaming the public for not enjoying their movie or a chef blaming diners for not enjoying their cooking; it is utterly wrongheaded. The question for the left and centrist parties is how they have failed so utterly and pathetically in presenting a compelling case to the public to vote for them.
