Those are not the only two options. What if, it was always shite?
What if it were entirely a more flawed system in terms of governance but one which inherently allows the elites to pitch the public against one another, blame each other for all the failures of the gov, and make the public think there is hope and waste time on a futile endeavour, fighting other members of the public.
Bit of a sidebar here, but I detest appeals to “muh elites divide and conquer”. The implication is that we would all be getting along in the absence of the elites, as if there are no meaningful and irrevocable differences between groups of people. In reality, only very homogenous societies have any hope of long term peace and prosperity. Multiculturalism is always doomed to strife.
What the elites have done is force multiculturalism on the west. So yes, the elites are largely responsible for the fighting. But the wolves don’t magically become your friends just because you’ve removed the people who let them in.
