I am pretty sure that democracies are happily pivot to authoritarian regimes because a lot of people just like to have a single choice they prefer.

or implementations of democracies can be gamed by groups with authoritarian inclinations?

To be clear: It's not that the electorates like authoritarianism, they hate "democracy" which doesn't listen to them nor work for their interests and benefit.

[chucke1992]

but that's the whole point - the democracy has to consider interests of various group and - ironically - it only somehow works when you have a single unified group. When you have diverse groups - there interests do not align and it becomes a clownshow
