Millions of American citizens feel politically powerless in our self-rule democracy. Political myths tell us citizens are the ultimate political power in our system of government and we buy it-even after, based on personal experience, the myths are shown to be false.To cope with this illusion, Americans do a weird thing-they willingly suspended their disbelief in the political myths and pretend the myths are true. This tug-of-war between political myths and political reality gives rise to a feeling of powerlessness, drives citizens out of the political arena, and places our democracy on autopilot- allowing self-serving interest groups to hijack the politics of who gets what in America.
