Look at the 3D US election map above, and imagine how easy it would be to game an election, if you controlled most of the big city voting precincts. For most honest, hard-working people, it is difficult to imagine the machinations which ambitious politicians and their followers will resort to, with $trillions of other people's money on the line.
Murphy's Law---what can go wrong will go wrong at the worst possible time--- all but assures that the system is being gamed. It is being gamed at the highest levels.
Our freedom is not only threatened, it may only exist in our collective imaginations. For the only thing that separates us from a non-free society is the right to change our governance via the elective process. If that system cannot be trusted anymore, what can be done about it?
