I would argue this is exactly what a government shouldn't be doing. They can continue doing so until enough people get fed up with it and cause a civil unrest. Not the same reasons but things like Brexit and the France protests are all caused because of the people getting fed up of the government.

In a working democracy, like France or UK, or USA, only an idiot thinks of the government as something separated from people.

If you don't like your democratic goverment, it means that you don't like the majority of your compatriots: time to emigrate or try and accept.
