    an overall sense that the system, even under the man they voted for, just isn’t working.

    I have a worrying feeling that for these people, fixing the system doesn’t mean anything like “kick all the billionaires out of politics, change the electoral system & senate to give people genuinely equal representation, and start arresting politicians who take bribes and make millions on insider trades”.

      A “restoration era” USA where all the damage is being fixed and institutions repaired like you describe would practically take some kind of temporary military dictatorship. Because it’s not just the idiots in maga, you have all kinds of idiots who think this principle or this or that is important and everything has been gamed for decades by the plutocrats to only serve them. So everything is poisoned, everything needs to be changed, so you can’t rely on any sensible majority or institution to work with you. That includes news media and journalists and the “freedom” of the press to serve as a voice for the plutocracy.
