That would be true if the majority of a population (at least in electoral sense) make stopping a genocide their #1 electoral issue. But that's not the case in the West.

Also the political elites are NOT conducting themselves as "public servants" when they demonize protestors. They are behaving like authoritarian rulers.

Democracy is so overrated. See in the US where public opinion is manipulated easily by using the boogeyman card (i.e. Trump).
