Thats a natural consequence of a large federal government. You said Western but I dont see a counterpoint outside the west. Maybe in tiny countries? But in the Us look to your local government and you’ll (hopefully )see a very responsive government that actually represents constituents.
Its not necessarily even the federal government’s fault. The distance between the federal government and its constituents is far by nature. They are making laws that apply to both Texas and California - there is not much that both will want.

They are making laws that apply to both Texas and California - there is not much that both will want. Which arguably is be design; the framers knew that it was better for the states to largely handle their own affairs. The problem is now everyone thinks their laws are so important that they have to be federal, instead of just letting different states do their own thing.
