If you like your government, you don't want anyone to organize against it. And if many people think like you, a truly democratic government would act according to your desires and jail the agitators.

Or, put otherwise, if you use the democratic mechanisms in place, it's all good. If you protest or demonstrate because you feel you aren't heard by the government, that'll usually have an effect. But if, deep inside, you want to overthrow the government, everyone will hate you and you'll be jailed or worse.
