It's crazy. People assume they need a government, so they create one. Then they spend the rest of their lives trying to evade the tyranny, while at the same time demanding more of it.
This goes on until it is physically impossible to support the regime any longer, so it collapses, and the people spend the rest of eternity grieving for the glory that was. Of course they create a new government right away.
I agree, but at some point, if people get sufficiently disgusted and pissed off, they will demand the kinds of changes that just might give us better candidates.
There is no provision to remove a politician from office. Rarely you hear of some people recalling a judge, but only rarely. Arizona had a fad of recalling governors for a while. That's about it.

A politician can be removed from office if they are convicted of a crime. Short of that, you just have to vote them out. The problem is that your next choice may be no better than the one in office because we all know that candidates are chosen by the party based on their winnability - not their ability.
1. Build the biggest, most expensive wall ever 2. make healthcare unaffordable 3. Take money from schools and give it to military 4. Arm every man, woman, and child with assault rifles 5. Oppress minorities and women 6. Get rid of term limits to insure supreme leader Trump and his family always rule the land.
All rifles are assault rifles. All weapons are assault weapons. Every person always has eight weapons: two hands, two elbows, two feet, the head, and the whole body. You just have to teach everybody how to use their weapons responsibly.
The people of this nation did not make it great the first time, so the people are quite unlikely to make it great again. This nation became great to fulfill a prophecy, and it was in spite of the people.
The American colonies were so prosperous without money that the king of France asked Ben Franklin how that was possible. But the nation financed the revolution by printing several versions of counterfeit money even before it became a nation.
