I explicitly do not want to fix this system. To attempt to fix this system, within the system, would take literally a century. It is inconceivable to me that we could get past the blatant corruption and bureaucratic rot that is at every level of our government.
The only answer is to strip it to the foundation, and then dig that up as well. We need a new constitution, a new Congress of states, perhaps the states should go as well, to be restructured for the new world that we are entering. Florida could be literally underwater year-round by the end of the century. The southwest will be out of water as the Colorado river dries up. The midwest could very easily slip into another dust bowl due to heat stress on grasses. We need to account for these things when we design the new social contract, because this one is dead.
Arguably that’s what a lot of MAGAts were going for. Look what we ended up with
When I have talked to them about some of these things, they largely agree that we need to reign in big business when you explain it to them. They don't like banks. They do like billionaires or think they are smart.
Basically, they would most likely be, in part, in favor of it. We just need to ensure that they do not have an outsized influence on the decisions that would come after.
UBI is better than democracy. It solves the poverty/care problem we look to the state for. A bias against corrupt spending since an alternative is more cash as dividend.
