The money in politics and the fact that the Supreme Court can act unilaterally to decide that unethical-and-disastrous decisions are "OK" because they appointed 2 supreme court seats when one branch of the government suddenly decided they could not do their job, but only when it caused a constitutional crises in THEIR favor. Yes, the ones who lost out on that are the majority, even though we are made to believe that minority opinion should be respected in order to ensure "democracy" when it seems like the only people who actually see the benefits of all this equality and corrupt control of congress are "rich" people, in every single instance... there's never a case where Mr. homelesss-guy-addicted-to-Fentenyl won the case and now the state pays him to rectify the horrible wrongs they had in not taking care of him when he needed it the most.
