The tide of corruption flows down from your universities, directly into the schools, and from there into everything. That is the reason all your institutions are corrupted, because their personnel have been corrupted.
Your upper class has developed a hatred for the American people and their historical heritage. And the hatred is returned, vigorously. This is culture, the worldview, not interests or politics.
That is why you have split into two peoples, ready to war with each other. Thats why your institutions are universally distrusted. That is why even obvious and necessary policies like supporting Ukraine, which would have been obvious and “conservative” in better times, have become political footballs, without regard to the actual issues, interests and principals (like the Ukrainians) in the conflict.
Politics, and policy, are downstream of culture.
The place to fix it is where it starts.
I still do my small bit, what Ive done for decades, financing Catholic parochial schools in the San Francisco archdiocese.

“Along with the return to dictatorial methods of government, another attribute of such a system returned to Russia - denunciations. Complaints against fellow citizens have become a truly mass phenomenon in the Russian Federation, and at once at all levels. So recently, three-time Olympic champion Elena Vyalbe called on to consider all Russian athletes as traitors who agree to oppose the war in Ukraine in order to participate in the Olympics.”
