I know the fix. It needs to be:

- Term limits.

- Restrictions in affiliation for government officials.

- Massive increase in conflict-of-interest and self-dealing rules and limitations for politicians and government officials.

- Small government in general.

- Enhancements in economic policy that give incentives for small business over large business, because large business always benefits from increased regulation and lobbying collusion with the law and rule-makers... by destroying all upstart competition.

- Changes to campaign finance rules that measure media and tech business influence and rule that the media or tech business is no longer media or a liability-limited platform, but a political action business and thus apply campaign donation rules and restrictions to that media and tech business can apply.

- Enhanced libel and slander laws that allow fast-track damage awards for media that lies and harms people with the lies.

- Voter ID

Vote out the establishment. Vote in people that are not career politicians and are real problem solvers. You know, the opposite of the 2020 election.

It's obviously not to the interest of those who have and like power to permit reduction of their power if they can help it. And, except under very unusual circumstances, they usually can. The system doesn't even have to be explicitly rigged.
