The structure of the republic and the Constitution required political agents acting in good faith for the good of the citizens.
That has absolutely collapsed. That is no longer functioning at all.
Politically the US is in a state of actual warfare between its citizens v citizens spree shootings/school shootings/political assassinations/media assassinations and citizen v military being rolled out to multiple cities. The police are being transmogrified into ICE.
Whatever version of the United States of America that sits before us is like watching a once functioning alcoholic cease to be functional.

There is a 0% chance that that keeps happening. The structure of the republic required the ordinary people of the United States to be vigorous about making sure that their political agents were acting for the good of the citizens, and putting them in danger (electoral or otherwise) if they were not.
It worked, and we got complacent because things were working, and so we slid away from that and into this idea that they’re supposed to just because they’re supposed to. And look where it got us.
there are too many rich people in ratio to the number of congressional representations that led to decreased taxation and too many damn rich people.
the number of representatives needs to be higher than 435 for a representative to be able to be held to accountable to their constituents. In the 1940 it was ~80,000 residents to a rep. Now it is like 400,000. A representative just can’t represent that many people.
we need more reps in congress to be able to attack and tax these overly bloated corporate greed centers from more vectors.
