I agree the buck stops where we are but we would never have chosen to traipse around the planet overthrowing other countries for God knows what reason. Our founding fathers knew it would be tough to maintain our freedom and it would require, from time to time, the blood of Patriots to keep it. When the dust settles (thank God for Trump), there will be some interesting discussions about preventing corruption in the future.
It all starts with us (the whole citizenry). Heretofore silent voices need to be raised. Heretofore complacent citizens need to be active in local, regional, and national politics. To some extent, that has been happening in a reaction to the chicanery of the 2020 election, but it is only a start from what needs to be.
I saw the phenomenon of the sitting carper when I was in union politics, trying to clean it up. An engineer of clearly conservative feelings would complain to me about the liberal mindset of the union council. I would urge him to run for a council seat, and the answer would be "Hell, no. I don't want to have anything to do with politics." As someone once put it: "You may not want to have anything to do with politics, but politics is interested in having everything to do with you."
