The belief that the political party that is causing all of the problems is going to be irrefutably proven to be dishonest, or reach political enlightenment, cease their opposition to progress, and then all will be good, are two of the illusions derived from the accurate aspects of the government experiment model, but nullified by the unidentified or otherwise, adverse aspects.
The evolution of what has gone wrong is not as easy to follow as the legends of what has gone right, but ultimately, it is a very safe bet that none of the subsisting political parties are prepared to be the benevolent oligarchy to guide us to the American Dream and prove that the system designed over two hundred years ago, and then adjusted by amendments here and there, is finally going to work correctly because the smart people from the honest party are finally going to be able to put the right people in the right places.
That is an illusion because the path to tranquility has to have a law and order approach with enlightening effects, lots of social pleasantries, and hints of harmony. Whereas, political scientists are describing the events of political corruption, domestic terrorism, political coups, and the possibility of civil war. We are enduring hysterical protests, and increased social disorderliness, and there is nothing about the activities of American society that suggests that we are even trying to accurately guide the approach to domestic tranquility.
Something is wrong with the governing system, and it is not just because of the people who are in it. For all intents and purposes, the American Experiment is a closed system, and it nurtures the nefarious just as it nurtures the honest. The problem is in the basic design of the system and it is not going to work itself out.
