>"Royalists" have been a phenomena everywhere.

As has barefaced lying to the populace about their own dislike for democracy.

It seems particularly common in Egypt where the idea that "the people just aren't ready for Democracy yet like they are in the west" is commonplace among the country's elite.

>It is still completely possible that spread of democracy is just multinational fashion trend.

Nobody's ever voted democracy away and it's not fashion that causes it to end, it's violence.

If I would find a country where people voted out democracy, you would probably just say the election was rigged.

Only if there were evidence of vote rigging.

There is always some kind of "evidence" for vote rigging. How about Egypt? Turkey? You don't vote Muslim brotherhood into power while thinking they maintain democracy. German federal election, March 1933, over 50% of population voted for either NSDAP or communists. And then there is Bhutan.
