When you no longer trust the news, when you no longer trust the FBI the CIA all the intelligence agencies, when you no longer trust the judicial system, when you no longer trust the legislature, when you place all your trust in the hands of one man you no longer have democracy you have monarchy.
When you have no trust in the the vast majority of news sources, no longer trust the executive levels of government agencies, you look to an outsider to clean up the problems and restore faith in the government. It does not mean you want a monarchy, it means you want reform. If you are backing insiders who are solidifying the agencies abusive and/or selective enforcement of laws and regulations, then you are backing either a monarchy or more likely an oligarchy. You end up taking away the people's inalienable rights and giving the power to the government, all for the safety of the people. First you take the guns, next you take away a free press, freedom of speech, you limit the right to assemble, then you limit the people's religious freedom and their right to petition government for the redress of grievances. After that, the government can search and surveil you without warrants. All of our rights will be lost and we will no longer be free citizens. We will be subjects. Unless you know with certainty you will be among the ruling elites or are willing to be mindless sheep, I doubt you will want to live on your knees serving your masters.
