If the people have a say in their government it just signifies that the cycle of fascism is not yet complete. That is how it works. Fascism is all about bullshitting people into believing that they are doing the right thing by giving up their liberties. Or, people only think they have say in their government, but they don't. "Authoritarian" can be a horse by another name. "Of course you're freemen. Now pay your taxes or your representatives will suspend your liberties." I think you'll find the equivalent of that last line was added to many State Constitutions after the U.S Constitution was made official.
