As far as a solution, that’s somewhat simply yet complicated. In short, society has lost its way, the majority of people nowadays have lost their moral compass and only think about themselves. So to start, we got to get back to fixing the family unit and society.
Look at the ten principles of communism/"Rules for Radicals". Reverse all of them in toto with zero compromise (compromise got us into this)...
Next, elect good honest people on the local level which will hopefully trickle up to the fed level. Next, follow the fucking constitution and don’t write bills with hidden bullshit in in that are 4000 pages that the common man can’t understand. Most things will fall into place after this. Next, term limits and absolutely zero money involved. Anyone found taking money or lobbying as such goes to jail, period. Those things might, just might turn us around. You see the largest downfall of what the founders left us is that it hinges on two main things, one, that people in these positions are good honest people with a moral compass.
Not just a moral compass - the founding fathers were predominantly, if not all, Christians and assumed those that followed would share those values without requiring their religion. There should be NO profit from government deals; and there needs to be oversight. Because we can never from here on forward can assume "best intentions".
Cornyn comes to mind - I had zero doubt he was getting Ukranian kickback after he went over. So what was he talking about today? Potential abuse by IRS? Spending package to ruin economy? Abuse by DOJ? Nope - he was all about Ukraine today. He's "in" make no mistake.
