Yeah the checks and balances do not even exist. We see it everyday. The slaps on the wrists that would be crippling and life changing for the people. The total fraudulent existence of more than likely more than one politician.  I think tribalism is what has keep the. Public together. Separate but together. In the courts it's not tribalism that's happening it is literally foreign and corporate infiltration gone unchecked because they've embedded themselves through their puppets in the most powerful seats in the country and even in the world. What's making it worse is the slaps in the face to the public who majority are struggling every time one of their puppets gets caught red handed and gets no serious repercussions for they're actions. 
After "grab em by the pussy" & so many ok and still ok with that I don't think decorum is something people care about or need. Because the thought that comes to mind when we think decorum is "this is what they use when they lie & want to sound smarter than us from atop their high horses.. this is the pretend niceness and care"
It appeases the religious. As a matter of fact it only appeases them when the liberals use it. When they can  control them and force it out of them because they sure were right there at maga speeches in support of that trash.  But everyone else knows it's bullshit. Just like the ones who had sense enough to know the one who didn't have decorum was flat out lying because every time he lied his mouth turned into a butthole. We can live with or without both. Doesn't really matter. What matters is not being lied to on a 24hr 365 cycle of madness and being treated like we're goddamn terrorists in our own homes and neighborhoods. What matters is our freedom and our ability to protect ourselves but they've done a prime level job at dropping the protection ball in schools so they can fuel school shootings and have people begging for their rights to be taken away. They can't just go do it or they'd get push back. It was set to make them beg for domination over them.  
We've been screaming from the rooftops that law enforcement was not created to serve and protect us and everyone ignored and didn't believe us until they flat out ruled in several courts that we were right. Just like we've been screaming from the rooftops that the authority here itself was just fabricated out of thin air, they used protecting us and natural resources as the excuse to have it while they sell it right from under us day by day but no one believes that until China owns all our goddamn pork factories, and foreigners and corps own majority of our real estate. I guess they won't believe that until they're all in section 8.
And those topics were brought up to the general public despite our Separate tribes. But it seems people don't believe anything until it is directly affecting them just as they had to learn with police brutality.

No the Senate is not a fair representation of the population and therefore electoral college is unfair as well which results in a minority rule. >

The Senate isn't meant to be,   The House is.
There's two different chambers for a reason. >

What does the intentions of anything have to do with OPs post or my comment? >

You're stating it as if it's some sort of evil or nefariousness.
It's not unfair.
It's by design.    A design that makes things more fair. >

Something can be unfair and by design.
It was designed to be unfair based on arbitrary lines in the sand. >

The Founding Fathers sat around the convention and had a round table on how to design America as unfair? >

Yes they were pretty damn open about setting up a system that benefited white landowners. >

No political system can be characterized by strong majority rule when the candidate most people vote for can lose to the candidate less people voted for, which has already happened twice this century. >

If this were true, there would be no political debate at all.   There would be no division.
We would have No Abortion, No gay rights, No civil rights, and No gun control    or  Full Abortion everywhere, Full Gay rights, Full Civil rights and Full gun control.
What we actually have is Some abortion rights, some gay rights, some civil rights, some gun control and constant battles over them all.   Because one side or the other does not have control. >

I agree that there are ongoing debates and disputes over certain social issues in our country, but this does not contradict my belief that the US political system is inherently tilted towards majority rule. The checks and balances in place serve to limit power indirectly, through influencing public opinion on what is acceptable, but they do not directly prevent the majority from having their way. The two-party system, which is an inevitable consequence of the US political system and fuels tribalism, further exacerbates this trend towards majority rule.
Furthermore, the current trend of increasing tribalism and erosion of trust in our institutions will only make this situation worse in the future. The political parties are simply playing a game where they push as far as public opinion will tolerate, and the lack of trust in the system only empowers the majority and weakens the checks and balances in place. The situation may not always result in full control, but the inherent structure of the system means that majority rule will always be the dominant force. >

When literally everything is done or uncovered regularly and no accountability is taken it's not tribalism that's causing distrust. It is the institutions that are proving to us with evidence they can not be trusted. They push to civil unrest to justify excessive force and removal of rights. That's been the play for a long while now. >

I don't really disagree with you, but my point is that the impotence of the checks and balances and the tribalism is what is enabling these institutions to act with impunity. If they were more worried about losing voters due to not sticking to decorum, they'd adhere to it more. If the checks and balances actually worked they would be scared of them. This creates a feedback loop which keeps making the situation worse and worse.
