In the system your country created rich control everything. Illusion of freedom is strong.
I think it was Carlin who had a bit about the choices at the grocery store are a distraction from the lack of choices at the voting booth. I can get 15 types of corn flakes but only 2 sides of the same party.
And there are 1-2 actual parent companies selling those corn flakes
Americans consistently sell themselves to the lowest bidder.
I'm surprised there are still buyers as we are worthless.
