    openly

    Is the key word, almost none of them will admit it, often even to themselves. They're so deep in brainwashing and doublethink that most of them are convinced they're standing for democracy and freedom even though their actual beliefs and policies clearly show that what they actually want and are actively working towards is an oppressive authoritarian dictatorship.

      Absolutely! But to accuse them wanting a dictatorship will only drive them further into the deception, because they aren't lying when they say they don't want it, despite them supporting a path towards it.

      Accusing a person of lying when they are not willing always get a strong reaction against you because they believe they are morally right and you are lying to them.
