You want to latch onto my use of the word “elected reps” (in the U.S. context), and then say “ah ha! There are none of those in dictatorships!” Are you daft? What’s an elected in the US? A person with power to address the issue of a protest. Do dictatorships have people with power? Hmmm

One group who cannot actually implement a change to address an issue you are protesting is the media. In the US or anywhere. They could be useful, to increase pressure on the people with the literal power to address the protested issue - but, that has proven ineffective in the US.
