I think the relevant quote is something like "people get the government they deserve" or "if you want to know who is to blame you have only to look in the mirror"

More accurate would be: "people get the government they deserve" or "if you want to know one person to blame, you can squint really really hard and try to see yourself in that mirror 1/154millionth the size of your bathroom mirror."

Democracy sure is a wonderful magic trick. None of the power but all of the blame.

Both of those quotes seem glib to me. Short of rebellion or revolution, the government we get is simply the government we were born into.
