No doubt. And I have no idea how we can change that. My approach has been for all of US, as few as we might be, to let our worthless Republican "representatives" (Democratic politicians are already too far gone) know that we will not be voting for them and why. And then all of US speak of them as depraved and/or stupid when explaining their dereliction of duty (which, IMO, ARE the explanations of it).
That might force them to do better or double down on us, which could wake up more people, hopefully. But we need to vote them out regardless.
But almost no one agrees with my approach. I don't believe in speaking nicey-nicey to people who don't care if the deep state kills me. And they're not gods. They call themselves public "servants," so let us speak of them accordingly.
And even if my preferred strategy managed to wake up some more people, we'd still have a very hard fight ahead of us. There is a poly-crisis in play. And that makes things very difficult, politically. If RFK Jr had a chance, I'd feel much less pessimistic about our current situation. But I see no evidence yet that he can pull it off.
Yeah, he's definitely FAR from ideal. And it may be a wash between him and Trump. I don't really trust either one of them. But I think he would shake the federal government up much more than Trump would. Honestly, I think this country is too far gone.
The right succession of leaders might could help us navigate our way back to sanity. But I don't see a leader anywhere near capable of restoring sanity in one term. The poly-crisis we're in makes it very difficult to do for even our most qualified men. And the odds of them getting elected may not even be good.

RFK Jr., may be running as an Independent, but he’s still espouses Democrat policies, like disarming the American people.
