Most governments, if not all, and not just our government, make decisions and actions that are not popular, or can be downright repulsive to the people they are representing.
Anyone can make a long list of all the bad, bad, things our government has done and is doing. Another anyone could make a long list of all the good and great things our government has done, and is doing.
Neither list means squat. It's our government, we voted for it . It is what it is.
There is no such thing as a perfect form of government, period.
It's kinda like when a guy says to you. "You got an ugly wife." and you come back with," Ya, but she's MY ugly wife!"
