"Democratic elections" is theatre. It's a stage on which actors are being moved around while the audience thinks it's making a difference by participating. It doesn't work well.
Democracy is a complete failure when scaled up to a size larger than a community. Even Plato disliked democracy in Athens (which was a city-state). To be fair, ancient democracy was a bit simpler and more "direct" than what I see today but it was nevertheless democracy, which is essentially putting a politician into a position of illegitimate authority through marketing campaigns.
Imagine if Apple held an election in which, every five years, the staff vote for a new CEO. Skills, expertise and the ability to run the company don't matter because what matters is the popularity of the new guy and how cool he looks on the poster.
It makes no sense.
Hans-Herman Hoppe wrote a good book, called Democracy: The God That Failed, in which he critiques the concept of democracy and why monarchy (no, not like in the UK) and natural order are superior.
Furthermore, democracies are a vector towards totalitarianism, thanks to perpetual inclusions of more laws, taxation, restriction of movement, wars, rights and social welfare.
Regarding totalitarianism, I can't think of a single democracy that did not lock down its citizens, with the help of police and military and blindly obedient citizenry, democratic governments took great pride in pushing for a mass rollout of dangerous mRNA jabs for an imaginary virus during 2020 (A few months before Joe Biden's rigged win)
That being said...
