I'm no great fan of David Frum, the father of 'the Axis of Evil', and Bush II mouthpiece. but I'll give the devil his due. In 2018 he said “If conservatives become convinced that they cannot win democratically, they will not abandon conservatism. They will reject democracy.” And he was right.

Democracy entails a numerical advantage for have-nots. Haves have compensating advantages, applying time & money to education, media, campaigning, lobbying, case law etc. Haves can prosper quite well without destroying democracy - but will destroy it anyway when they sense an opportunity.
