I think every semi intelligent person knew something was amiss in the last election. But no-one knew what to do about it. Now everyone is wringing their hands calling for a surge of Republicans in the next election, like thats going to fix anything!. The republicans are just as complicit in this as the democrats. Both parties are out to screw the American public every chance they can.
The vitriol they created around Trumps presidency shows that an election will no longer be able to solve this problem. They'll just gaslight everyone until they get their way.
