The problem with politics is that so many elected officials can technically stay in office until they die, if they keep winning elections. This is a problem even for honest politicians because once they're in DC, they get to literally live off of tax payer dollars and pocket their earnings. After enough years, even an honest politician can lose sight of how life works for regular working people.

We all know there's a lot of corruption but when people are in DC for decades and have so much given to them for free, they just can't accurately relate to regular people anymore. Even Trump can't truly relate to regular people but he does try to. The problem is that typically only people already involved in politics or people with political ties or families in politics are the ones that are able to win elections.

Trump chose Republican instead of making his own party because it's nearly impossible to become president with one of the two party's support. Some of these people like Biden that spent 5 decades in DC, maybe have always been corrupt but some of them started out honest and were corrupted throughout the decades but any guilty of crimes should face consequences. It's just not as simple as removing all of the people that have been in office for decades.

There has to be strict term limits or else this type of problem will happen again within another 50 to 100 years.
