I mean the word works, fits and is descriptive. Do you have another word for people who fit the criteria?

Maybe privileged-ignorant-authoritarian-self-proclaimed-leftist might fit if it wasn’t so long.

Maybe going with German might work. Privilegiertunwissendautoritärselbsternannterlinker?

Authoritarian supporters. Most don't just excuse the authoritarian regimes, they actively support them.

I’m thinking apologist is a good word here. It fits the religious overtones of how they behave.
