    The “American experiment” as far as I am aware is one of “self-governance”.

    It arguably has never been tried in earnest since the founding of this country, at very least failed entirely in 2016 with Russia’s influence and the zero consequences that arose from that, and was likely dealt a critical blow by the citizens united decision which all but guaranteed that rich people would decide our elections for us in the future.

    We voted ourselves into what I’m now pretty convinced is an unshakable oligarchy. You’ll get what the rich, international oligarchs want you to have and nothing else. They’ve built bunkers in New Zealand and the Ozarks for when the consequences come knocking at their doors.
