@Antanicus Also some people seem to assume that winning a round of votes grants automatically a 100% approval rating nationwide, even if he wasn't elected as a lesser evil there would still be people who didn't vote for him and thus would have a perfectly valid reason to protest.

I think these people don't really get the point of democracy and counter-power and think that elected heads of state are in fact omnipotent supreme leaders. Elect your dictator and then shut up, in a way.
