I’d abstract it even further: There’s no They - the system is self-sustaining. And it will run amok if it isn’t regulated.
I mean it, in a well regulated (and preferably global) democracy people like Trump and Musk would just be unhappy psychopaths way too fixated on money, not the richest / most powerful people of a huge country.
I don’t know this senator Graham but I suspect he’s glossing over a lot of cronyism when he says “There’s only we, and we ususally don’t know what the fuck we’re doing.”
Oh how I dream we will have a self-regulating system one day.

I’ve been reading about “systems thinking” recently, and it’s fascinating stuff.
Nice.
It almost - almost - makes religion make sense, at least as a concept. Something to help grasp the felt complexity of our planet, the universe.
The “self” in “self-regulating” for a functioning democracy is the citizens within it.
its probably to diffuse blame to the gop.
