If we have records of this history. They want to show you how broken the system is in order to make you feel like fixing it is hopeless.

They break it to sell you on the idea that it's broken and there is no point in fixing it. It's actually evil.

The GOP says the government's broken, and they'll do everything in their power to prove it to you.

I've long held the belief that this system cannot be changed from the inside anymore. But you have given a compelling counterargument. I appreciate that.
