Democracy only works if people are more or less on the same page about reality - since than they can find a conses or compromise. If people can't agree on the nature of reality (is climate change real, is there a problem with immigration, are viruses even real? ) than democracy can do nothing, since there is no way to bridge that differences in a peaceful manner.

That is another sign of a well-functioning democracy, indeed.
