How do you suppose we conquer the colossal leverage that "dark money" exerts over US leadership and policing agencies? There's never going to be justice or even a feasible counter attack as long as industrial pillars continue to reinforce federal authorities.
But it can only be done via legislative reform: Tax reform, incorporation charter reform, intellectual property/patent reform, banning insider trading, de-regulation -- corporate welfare and income tax reform, unfair trading practices with other nations, mandated licenses, certifications, inspections, insurance, employee taxes, and so on and so forth that is strangling small businesses and sole proprietors.
We must also return to being a nation of savers and investors, not debtors and gamblers, who can take care of themselves and their families. We must invest in empowering the people -- ALL people -- to be self-sufficient, resourceful and independent. And that will require better education and training options, as well as better opportunities to market their own skills on their own terms.

You should really study American civics before posting on this subject again.
Might save you from further embarrassment and ridicule.

I'm not sure any of the above can happen though until we hit rock bottom. Too many people are living in a superficial and artificial world and just don't get it yet.

We cannot and will not fix anything by giving more power and money to the same corrupt critters that created pretty much every problem we have.

Let me ask you something.
Do think as a trump supporter (or whoever you support) that you do more good overlooking your candidates failure or calling them out and holding them accountable?
IMO overlooking your party or candidates wrong doing or failures is more important than focusing on the OTHER party and candidate that you have zero influence over.
Nothing will change until people start to hold their OWN candidates accountable and demanding better.
Had trump supporters called trump out for hiring within the swamp early enough maybe he would have stopped and maybe biden wouldn't have gotten 1 trillion votes and trumps administration would have found some wrong doing.
We did speak out about it.
Loudly.
Democrats are the problem.
Not Trump, his hiring choices, or his toilet.
Fascist democrats did this, and it is only they that stand in the way of freedom, fairness and truth
Or even know if he may have had reasons we were unaware of.
