Here in a nutshell is the core of the problem. What was it ... Ask not what your country can do for you ask what you can do for your country,. People have come to the conclusion that going to the booth to cast a vote once in a while is everything that is needed for a country to run like a well oiled machine. I do not care for what political party you went to vote, 97% of you think background checks should be the norm.

But 97% have not been going to town halls to tell your legislator "it is my way or the highway" and worse still, many keep voting for legislators that have not gone to a town hall meeting in years (like the trump lackey known as Devin Nunes). So it is not that people are helpless, they feel entitled to living in a great country without doing a great deal of work (going to a town hall, doing pacific demonstrations, etc. are work).
At the end of the day most people want about the same things, but politicians and the media have amplified the details in which people have different opinions to divide everyone when the simple truth is that people must be united in their desire to make politicians give results (just like in any other paid profession).
