If a pollster asks a Republican how important democracy is as an issue to them, I'm not sure how that turns out

7. MAGAts do not like democracy

Many do not even understand it. Most of us have heard the canard that "The United States is a Republic, not a Democacy".

Of course, the US is in fact both - a republic simply indicates that a country is not a formal monarchy or aristocracy (in practice, that's not actually even all the much of a distinction any more). A democracy indicates that power is shared by consensus through elections. A representative democracy (which is what we are) is that we choose our representatives to make decisions on our behalf.

The bigger distinction is usually whether the system is free (which in essence means unregulated) or fair (meaning some manner of regulation), and who specifically is granted the franchise and what influence that franchise has.

I think the ideal form of government to a Magat would be one where the franchise (the right to vote) is only granted to party members, preferably male, but with a theocratic or monarchial form of government. The head of the government is then chosen by a private committee of the elect or inherits the position from their ruler, usually until they die. In other words, it would like a lot more like the British Aristocracy and specifically the House of Lord pre-1820, save with fewer people having the right to vote on fewer things. Freedom translates into privilege - free for me but not for thee.
