2. How can they realize it when they keep getting elected?

And the reason they keep getting elected is generally speaking the voting machines IMHO. It's a gradual progression but the tilt is obvious and if the vote in all the elections were verified, I'm guessing that about 30% in each cycle are rigged enough that the wrong guy wins. If you keep that up for years and years, pretty soon you have results like we're getting now where Congress gets the lowest rating in history and most people blame the Repubs for it and yet they keep voting for them (supposedly).
