Literally more than 50% of Americans do not trust their government and trust in the government has been trending down for the last several decades. 68% of Americans say that they want more viable parties than those that are currently available (viable meaning actually electable). They also by an overwhelming majority want term limits and other checks and balances placed on politicians that hold office because they are aware the system is broken.

Americans trust in news media is also at an all time low and the vast majority of Americans do not trust the media.

So, it’s great that you want to try to wrap this up in a neat little bow where we blame constituents rather than the system, but you’re still wrong.
