My point is that if government
is a bad actor, there is no recourse. We need a fair democratic society - it's on us to build one / keep it there

It might get to be that way some day, but for now there is recourse. France is (in)famous for it and they are currently making use of that way.
And this is important because a "fair democratic society" that doesn't need people to be able to protest is, as history has shown many times, only a temporary affair. The best way to keep it is to not give the government the tools a worse government could use to suppress dissent.
