1000% agree. We didn't just end up this way by accident. We are all victims of a system that has been slowly and deliberately eroded to ensure maximum apathy. It's not the voter's fault that education, journalism, and social safeguards are hollowed out husks of what they used to be.

The frustrating part is that I don't see a way out of it. There's no easy or obvious solution to the problem. You can expose the man behind the curtain as many times as you like, but partisan politicians will always be playing defense for their team and all the many scandals and earth-shattering revelations will be reduced to a political disagreement, where for every narrative there must be a counter narrative that explains why the other people are wrong, even if it must fly in the face of observable truth.
