Government is a tool and not perfect,this is why I think you can see western democracies which are bound to be mediocre but can actually adjust over time and most of the issues can be blamed on the population as a whole as they still hold voting power, whereas you also have evil government such as the Chinese government that openly has concentration camps and tortures millions in them but the populace at large (in China) seems to be okay with it and couldn't really do anything about it anyway, as they are controlled completely by less than 1% of the population and short of a civil war can't really do anything about it.
