Rapidly abandoning a compromise is GOP 101. They get you to come half way and then they get you to come half of what is left, and so on. This has always been the tactic.

It's nice that we are done bickering about whether or not we are screwed. Onward to bickering about how soon, where, and who's to blame!!
No hands for anyone. Possibly no feet too. Only the cooperative will survive.
Morrowind was amazingly versatile. You could combine any effect, and they weren't any safety mechanisms. Want to jump 2000 ft in the air? Don't forget your feather fall spell. Hundreds of ways to kill or die amusingly. My old husk of a brain is having trouble remembering, but maybe some others have a fond memory of their best spell or enchanted item combos.
The political party I think you want is on the other side of the current democrats. Ideally, as a nation, you've gotta go left so hard that the current dems would split into right and left. It is a daunting task, and a number of elections in the making...
I honestly think it is too far gone now for it to be turned with only elections. The power is too concentrated and the methods of control are too refined. At minimum, I think it will require mass "illegal" protests along with strong voting. As a bystander in another country, I fear for you all.
