Functioning democracies don't mysteriously have one party obtain 95%+ of the votes in every election. Single party rule is naturally ineffective. So when Americans try it in Flint MI and as a result of stellar leadership the water is undrinkable, send in the National Guard to fix things and its rah rah america F yeah stars and stripes forever. But when foreigner militaries have to "reset" things after a decade of single party rule, suddenly its all "toppling democracy". I find it fascinating that when Stalin and Hitler and Saddam Hussein got 95%+ of the vote, that's marketed as evil dictatorship, but when Myanmar gets similar suspicious numbers, "well that's just the beauty of democracy in action". It seems in practice the sole determining point for if you get marketed as a dictatorship or a shining beacon of democracy is how much the US State Dept likes you. Another novelty of propaganda is we've been heavily indoctrinated for decades that dictatorships are inherently evil, yet ironically the one in Myanmar seems like pretty nice leaders. Of all the dictatorships to topple in a military coup, it seems a shame to topple one that's actually pretty nice folks.
