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)
