Warning: what follows is an anecdote, with no citations. But it may be informative.
I know somebody who spent time in Bolivia in the mid-2000s to early/mid 2010s, mainly for nonprofits in the sphere of indigenous rights. (They also worked in a few other South American countries.) This person was incredibly enthusiastic about Evo winning the presidency, but in the early 2010s grew to dislike Evo. While he did do a lot of good, he also helped build up a now powerful & corrupt police and military, and in at least a few instances had opponents (to the left of him, generally cases of local resistance to 'development' projects) beaten and/or killed.
EDIT: Dropping an edit in here for anyone who happens to stumble across it - I was misremembering my conversations with this person; this person did not know of any killings by Evo / his government.
When learning of the recent events in the country, this person was split. Evo had indeed lost the confidence of many of the non-elite, but the ones who were going to benefit the most from his ouster (and indeed we are already beginning to see this) are the elites that he took to task back in the 2000s. His opponent in the election is literally one of the old white elites who were president in the bad old days - indeed, is the very person who Evo beat to become president.
In short...
What replaced it being shit doesn't absolve the previous government of also being shit.
This
kind of applies, though perhaps it's more of a case of a possibly good person getting corrupted over time (Evo was president for more than a decade, after all) which then leads to things regressing back to the bad times before.
Edit: I should add that this person loved/loves a lot of what Evo did. He helped fight back (a bit) against the exploitation of the country by outside companies, at least by getting a much better profit share for Bolivia. E.g. what happened with the oil companies early on. But unbridled exploitation was still pretty much the norm, just under terms more favorable for Bolivia.
