Nellie Bailey and Glen Ford — U.S. Rulers Seen As Illegitimate

American government, business and media institutions have lost legitimacy in the eyes of the people, said Duboisian scholar Dr. Anthony Monteiro. “This is a real opportunity for movement building, for coalition building,” said Montiero. “The growing contradiction between the majority of the American people and the elite is probably sharper than at any time in the last 70 years.”
I hope this is an exaggeration. But there is little doubt that there is an attempt on both sides to discredit and delegitimize the opposing party. Eventually, this does lead to large numbers of people viewing the governing elite as illegitimate. That is a big problem, and the US is toying with it.

Obviously all depends upon the extent of a morally extending mentality or outlook on life in the United States as opposed to a morally shrinking one. The issue is really how well the importance of the former can be conveyed to the electorate. The evidence is now in concerning its importance in the biology, psychology and sociology fields.
