I think the problem is that the system in the US is built on elected officials being serious leaders who want to govern for the good of all. The Republicans have turned that on its head. They can stop this any time they want, and could have for nearly a decade.

The system is built on the idea that if elected officials aren't serious leaders they won't win their next election. America is falling because of Americans.
