You do not have to look very far to find prominent voices on the right who are apologetically anti-democracy.

  Or even unapologetically.

  if what you mean by anti-democracy, is government oppression, then the left and right both use this equally. there is only one continuum: liberty from government oppression, or lack thereof. I hope you don't seriously consider the oligopoly of two parties and small circle of connected elites, dependent on financial backing from ultra high net worth oligarchs, corporations, special lobbying groups - a democracy. This is not democracy, it is plutocracy (the power of capital/rich)

    There is bad, and there is worse, far worse. And, it's a kleptocracy, more and more, for a very long time now.

      US is not a democracy. Trump got like ~77 mln votes, which roughly compares to 23% of the population of 340 mln people. so Trump doesn't even represent the a quarter of US population. other countries are more democratic, in a sense that winning candidate represents larger share of people living there
