This is a result, not a cause. This is learned helplessness in the face of not being able to vote for change, and having no say in the policies of our country. The US government has become 100% beholden to the deep state and the oligarchy. We squabble over left/right social issues while both parties are in almost total lockstep with spending and foreign policy.
I mean, I'd love to be proven wrong in next year's election, with some definite outsiders trying to muscle into the circle. And, even if one of them does get elected, we've already seen how one supposed outsider fared against this machine already. If both Vivek and RFK run as independents, it would at least be a BONKERS election cycle.
