Per contra, Hobbes, who was no tyrannophobe, declared instead that political citizens were as a God to one another, while non-political men were to one another as arrant wolves (II, h).

The tyrannophobe may fear dictatorship in the extreme sense we have identified—the endpoint of the continuum, where the leader faces no legal checks at all, neither elections nor the consent of others for lawmaking—or else the tyrannophobe may fear dictatorship in the weaker sense, such as abuses by an elected executive.

On the margin of harm, the question is whether the tyrannophobe rationally considers the evidence about the costs and benefits of dictatorship.

Note how the correction suppresses the tyrannophobe and immoderate expression 'tyrannical oppression' with the more neutral 'usurpation'.

Most tyrants on seizing power start off by murdering the aristocracy; so conservatives are as tyrannophobe as democrats, and Dion was all that they admired.
