I think you need some perspective. There are some serious issues, yes, but they pale in comparison to the rest of the world. The vast majority of elections we just had occurred without any major problems. Public services work pretty well for the most part. The violent crime index, last I checked, has declined to a rate equivalent to what it was in 1970, before the drug war, and when the country had 120 million less people.

Human societies will always be contentious. They've never operated any other way. That things work so well in millions of instances every day is ignored for some reason.

I’m not saying the system doesn’t work... I’m saying people don’t believe in the system because they perceive it’s broken and rigged against their side. And that will cause society to unravel further and further.

FWIW both sides think this so I’m not just blaming libs.
