This has been a concern for Americans since the dawn of the country. Things in the early 20th century were worse than they are now.
- Retric 8y agoThe US got surprisingly close to a second civil war during that time period. The issue is large numbers of both Republicans and Democrats feel their votes don't matter. Further, the last civil war is outside of living memory. It's a black swan event which can easily catch people off guard. Rules put in place by people in power have ~zero impact on how much people trust the system.
