You need to understand the relationship between cause and effect. The entire current situation in America is, at its core, caused by the fact that the People gradually stepped back from their responsibility to engage in the nation as owners, rather than as simply spectators or beneficiaries.

Politics is nothing. Politics has become corrupted because the People - who are responsible to oversee, supervise and control the government and politics - have, for various reasons, including manipulation and deception, but also a willingness to enjoy the fruits without bearing the responsibility of self-governance - are not in the position they need to be, and have not taken up the role they MUST have if the nation, if politics, if government, is to have its own proper role.

Until one wakes up to that fact, the problem is always someone else's fault, and the rescue and the solution to the problem is also always for 'someone else to do'.

That mentality, that behavior, that attitude is the nexus and crux of the problem. That is the cause. The effects are what you now see.
