Take the Declaration as a template and craft a modern version of it with the DC swamp and you will be stunned how much worse things are now and getting worse.

The difference was the colonists didn't have a choice. No one voted for their king. In modern America, we volunteered. We voted for our abusers, and sat and watched while they accumulated their king-like powers. Our primary abusers are ourselves. The king and his army were an easy, identifiable target. Our neighbors' apathy and greed are harder to correct. Things will need to get much worse before they react. Our rulers are pretty good at keeping the pressure just below the explosive level.
Judging by the level of election fraud, Clif High estimates that as many as 30,000 public officials were elected through fraudulent votes in down ballot races. If that’s the case, there is no difference between an unselected king and an unselected assembly of public officials.
Yep, and lots of theives steal money and property. The world is full of dishonest people. We track them down and punish them, and that discourages others from doing it. If we accept it and ignore it, we get more.
