Has forcefully imposing democracy ever worked anywhere? I can't think of single example that turned out okay.

Germany and Japan after WWII, can't think of any others since however.

South Korea I think also was autocratic at some point, but with the help of USA became much better. There's still a ton of problems, corruption and nepotism, but it's still thousands times better than dictatorship.

At least we'd have a chance of making it work. With status quo it's just becoming worse and worse due to brain drain (all active conscious people find a way to leave the country).
