>> we're being dragged out of our brief experiment with liberal democracy by people who stand to gain from it.

It makes bad situations worse even when everyone says that they agree on a solution and want to make it happen. Antitrust laws are one way to prevent and maybe even remove corruption, but they only work if the people writing the laws and enforcing the laws are not corrupt.
