More like people need to learn to live with the things they can't really do anything about instead of obsessing over how things 'should' be.

Should be won't be a realistic outcome, not even in a dictatorial one-party system because the people who rise to the top in such systems are not anymore competent, rational, or knowledgeable than the bulk of the population. What gets to the top of a one party system is ruthlessness, not competence.
