I think that because you're attributing those views to "the citizenry". I can only go on the words you've used, and you've used a word that describes the whole country's population, not a small minority.
The make-up and mindset of the citizenry doesn't change just because the government changes.
It's a small minority from the far right rioting, with massive counter-protests. You're trying to say the whole population is rotten based on a few negative examples, which ironically is just what the racists are doing themselves.
I've raged at the incompetent UX design so many times, like recently when I was trying to add videos to the currently playlist in a certain order, since you can't reorder yourself. The mini player blocked the controls I needed for the last item on the page, but closing the player wiped out the playlist. Cue scream of rage and a few choice words at volume.
Well, said at least - this story's almost a decade old.
