Get money out of politics. Oh wait, corporations are people but better and can give unlimited amounts of money as part of their Free Speech+ package.
I'm reminded of the opening of one of Kurt Vonnegut's books (Hocus Pocus maybe?). A detail that is easy to overlook is that the book starts describing that the US just elected it's least popular president ever, and in the inauguration day riots a few SCOTUS justices get assassinated.
It then moves on to a wild tale about a guy that takes care of church bells.
