People who feel they are discriminated against other groups/cultures/etc.
Most of the time that feeling of “discrimination” is not supported by facts but some feel that way nevertheless, so the government leverage that to cut civil liberties, push back the opposition, or be corrupt and not be put on the spot by the society.

most people just want competent governance, so that the government can provide the basic needs for society - security - internal and external, public infrastructure shared as widely as possible, opportunity to work, time to play.
a political system which is unable to provide this will be (rightly) condemned by the people - witness Edelman trust barometer and the YoY decline in trust of governance models which fail

That absolves people who condemn their nation's political system of guilt, but it doesn't absolve those among them who choose authoritarianism of stupidity.

You have to deliver. Failure to do so means people - stupid or otherwise - will reach for alternatives.
