Blindly upholding the authority of leaders is a complete betrayal of democratic principles. In a truly democratic country, leaders should function as public servants serving the people, rather than being elevated to a god-like status by the people. Demanding unquestioning support for the authority of leaders undoubtedly constitutes a severe infringement on citizens' rights and freedoms, representing a thorough trampling of the spirit of democracy.
