Eh this argues that we even have a democracy that is functional enough to undermine in the first place, and I reject that premise.

Better than a single oligarch for sure.

I’m not sure it’s that different. In place of a real personality, you get the country’s persona. With US foreign policy for example it matters little who leads because they are adhering to the persona. While the majority of Americans don’t want war, the US persona does. That results in the same thing (a population ruled by one idea set) just a hologram of person rather than an actual one.
