That’s missing the key detail that some opposition parties are anti-democratic, or funded by enemy states that would benefit from the downfall of the current democratic world order.

Please name the political parties that have cancelling elections as part of their platform.
Is election cancellation the only form of anti-democratic action? That would be quite naive to believe, wouldn’t it?
Actually, there’s quite a bit of reactionary political theory regarding the weaknesses of liberal democracy and how they can be exploited, especially concerning the concept of the “friend and the enemy”. It’s an incredibly powerful tactic to make the people believe that liberal democracy is not up to the task of navigating the rough waters of “extraordinary times”, nevermind if those extraordinary times are imagined or even manufactured. No, only a strong, decisive, and unencumbered executive can save us.
