Great thought, and the main area of disagreement between Neoliberals and Classical Liberals.
As for the rest, while I definitely share your frustration at our government, it’s important to note that Congress members vote overwhelmingly in ways their constituents want. Constituents regularly support their own representatives, while still holding that Congress is broken/corrupt/etc. The real problem is Americans hotly and widely disagree on core issues of identity.
There’s no easy solution here, but I’m big on chasing evidenced-based policies and solutions wherever possible.
