If the implication is that democracy would be good, but the people in the setting just don't realize it, it's It Will Never Catch On.

Deliberate Values Dissonance as well, I think, if the resistance to democracy comes from the ingrained idea that certain broad classes of people are just unsuited for leadership.
Something that I have been seen on medieval fantasy settings like Game of Thrones or The Witcher. When a character proposes an alternative mean of government that aren't kings, based on the common folk ruling themselves, or electing someone directly to do so, only for that character ending up being mocked by everyone else for that ridiculous idea. Is there some trope of this?
