see the switching of power to Democrats, after Republicans had it, before it became clear that just changing parties was not going to change much. The War Machine is still running, the privatization of public funds progressing even faster now etc.

But now that the people have figured it out to some extent, I hope it's not too late. There are so many entrenched and very powerful institutions that remain in power no matter which party wins.

That might bring them out in the open more but I think the power has shifted from the people and I don't know what it would take to change that.
