they were to go away the people would realise how bad
it it is and
the gubmint does _not_ want that spread around. And the US is still
the only country around with a history of a revolution that didn't
become worse than the previous choice within a generation. (It took
about three generations actually, and let's not discuss the last six
or eight).
If you're going to make sweeping political statements which are provocative
yet nebulous (not to mention off-topic), can you at least provide facts or
details? Exactly what revolution are you talking about? What do you mean
by "bad"?
