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.
