Well when you have a substantial amount of the population voting against their economic interest, do not trust the political system to the degree they like hearing autocratic rhetoric like "so called judges" and "do nothing congress" and "rigged elections" and "fake news media" - that sort of denigration of checks and balances in favor of unity executive is totally the opposite of anything grassroots, or democracy.
It's people who have no trust in those things, and just want to go back to a simple life of one deity, one leader, a small bunch of benevolent aristocrats, and everyone else gets a basic job and they just suck it up and like it.
A significant minority is convinced crony capitalism is real capitalism, and the only reason why it doesn't work perfectly is because of government, gays, and libtards. That's the political reality of ~80% of Republicans who still approve of everything this U.S. administration is doing. That may only be 25% of the eligible voting population, but then a bit over 50% of those eligible voters could not be bothered to participate at all. So you have a sizable minority of anti-democratic people who want a weak autocrat to just fix things and de-Obamafy the country. And a bunch of disinterested people. Ergo 3/4 of the voting eligible population.
It's a problem.
