That's not really a criticism of democracy but a criticism of the absolute stupidity of Nazism and white supremacism. Sure, if Nazis become the majority, then they would rule a democratic society. But they can only come out of mommy's basement so often...
It's a criticism of liberal democracy, and a fair one at that, because those will always be ultimately ruled by the wealthy elite. Hence the term dictatorship of the bourgeoisie. It's why abortion is once again illegal in much of the US, it's why the US doesn't have universal healthcare despite it being very much wanted by a large majority of the population. It's why France is still upping the age of retirement despite essentially no one wanting that and has become a de facto police state to suppress that population from protesting it. Nazis absolutely do not have to be a majority for a liberal democracy to quickly become a fascist state.
They're not stupid they're reproducing the centuries of genocide they sprouted from.
You can pretend to punch down all you want, they're the slave catchers that protect private property as police, the intelligence agencies began as union busting Pinkerton, and the genocidal settler state that began as a genocidal settler state.
