You actually have it backward. Once the American people start using their brains will the politics follow. The political system is representative of the people who elect it, not the other way around.
Sadly, once this reality is accepted, it leads to a pretty cynical outlook. It seems pretty plain that this country is simply incapable of having a thoughtful policy debate because frankly, there isn't much thought.
There is no shortage of militantness however.
