Will this country reform the political system and voting laws before it is too late?

We are operating an outdated and inferior government. The current course is extremely unproductive and the system is being exploited by everyone. We allow people who hate America into the country, then we vote them in as lawmakers. The last 2 presidents, 6 senators, and 24 congressmen are over 80 years old. They are losing their minds and dying while running our country. we have become so "diverse" that no one works together and community doesn't exist. Liberal ideology has become the new religion of the democrat party, they spend all their time thinking up new ways people have been oppressed and how we can spend tax dollars to investigate more. We waste an absurd amount of tax dollars on foreign nations that hate us, grants for stupid things that make no sense, investigating if men can become women, we lie to the public about shutting down the economy over a mysterious flu, we arrest criminals but cant put them in jail, so we just have hire more police officers. If the average person saw a breakdown of where all the tax dollars are going, they would start rioting in the streets.
It is not working. And the problem is simple. Respectable people are not involved in politics. They have lives and things to do. The people attracted to politics are actually the worst group of people in the country. I'm not sure how to shift this back towards reality, but it should be easy to enforce common sense, law, and order.

No. We're fricked. Workout, train, stock up on ammo, get in some range time, prepare for shite to hit the fan... because it's going to, eventually.

You’ll excuse the rest of us if we live our lives in reality and free from dire hyperbole, okay.
MAGA and the GOP Right are hinging
their fortunes on the most cynical view of America. It will not pay off in the long run.

Universal suffrage is a terrible idea.
Would you allow the dumbest people in your company hire its leaders?

The citizens of the Roman Empire never were told that the Roman Empire collapsed, they found out when their local bridge collapsed and nobody came to fix it

It's inferior but outdated is not the problem. In fact, we should just go back to the govt we had around 1800.

Start with term limits and mandatory retirement ages.

over half of this country is morally bankrupt at best. great portion is pure evil with abortion, homosexuality and other perverted nonsense. a great many are also consumed with greed and materialism. societies collapse bc they become immoral and God let's them collapse, not just for punishment but also for their own good.
this is the stuff you should be concerned about. take care of morality and God will take care of the rest. You didn't mention what's important or even give God any credit for the good the country enjoyed.

No
1. It is already too late
2. Don’t fool yourself. DC Republicans are in on this too.

Not sure anything is more cynical than the Communist takeover of the Democrat party

GTFOH! Dire hyperbole is the Left’s bread and butter. “Literally Hitler”, “They’re gonna put you back in chains”, “Jim Crow”, “threat to democracy”, etc…
These are the tools of the Left.

I'm less concerned about age than I am about consecutive terms. I think that every every government position (Federal, State, & Local) should be limited to 2 consecutive terms. After 2 terms, you have to sit a term...then you can run again after that for another 2 terms...then sit again.
Our congress has people who have uninterrupted tenure of:
51.6 years - 1 person - Senator
49.8 years - 1 person - Senator
45.6 years - 2 Senators & 2 Representatives
45.2 years - 1 Representative
43.6 years - 1 Senator & 1 Representative
41.6 years - 1 Senator
That's 9 members of congress who have been in office continually for over 40 years.
Kentucky has (at the time of this posting) a Senator who has been in office since January 1985 and a Representative who has been in office since January 1981. For some perspective...when Ronald Reagan was inaugurated for his 1st term, Hal Rogers had already been the House Rep for Kentucky for nearly 3 weeks. He was in office before MTV went on the air. He was in office before Donkey Kong was released.

“Our Constitution was made only for a moral and religious people. It is wholly inadequate to the government of any other.” John Adams, letter to the officers of the First Brigade of the Massachusetts Militia, October 11, 1798
“Only a virtuous people are capable of freedom. As nations become corrupt and vicious, they have more need of masters.” Benjamin Franklin
Franklin also reportedly said after the Constitutional Convention in 1787, when asked what kind of government had been created:
“A republic, if you can keep it.”
The Founders’ believed that the survival of the United States depended not just on institutions, but on the character and conduct of its citizens.
We sit here and argue left vs right politics while those in DC keep the populace divided as they enrich themselves. They could care less what happens to our Republic.
