    Congress, no.

    Republicans, yes.

    Regardless of the flaws in the system even a perfect system would break when half of the people running it are acting with malice.

      Oh completely, I’m not a “both sides” guy. I think my point is quite aligned with yours, which is that the system is actually fairly reflective of the will of the people, it just turns out people are willing to go fascist for $5. The checks and balances aren’t broken, they’re just not being used because a plurality of elected officials represent people who actively want this.
