Well, calling complaints about the legitimacy of election results "attempts to subvert democracy" is hyperbole.

Aren't those the very opposite - attempts to uphold democracy? (even if misguided and there was no fraud)?

In general, anybody that believes that somebody like Trump would have subverted democracy and established some authoritarian rule, is beyond hyperbole.

Attempting to subvert democracy would not look like asking legitimate questions about the election results.

It would probably look something more like calling a Secretary of State to get them to change the election results.

Or to ask the Vice President to count the electoral votes incorrectly. You know. Things that we know actually happened.

If Trump had simply called for investigations into the legitimacy of the election or requested recounts then yes I'd agree.

Putting together a slate of false electors, asking the VP to certify them, or calling states and asking them to find more votes however is not that.
