>shorten this feedback loop

Lasting help on this cannot be had in any short time, because cultural change is required: A citizenry engaged with and learning about government at a practical, local level -- rather than playing games to maximize the volume and audience of their own ranting.

Schools would have to teach concepts like "regulatory capture", "rule of law rather than of men", "plausible deniability" -- along with the fundamental math, economics, and cultural history needed to apply them.

And parents would have to inspire their children to some effort in outward, altruistic directions, rather than inward, to their own immediate pleasure.

It starts with families, and with schools.
