I also think it's the sense that we have lost control over our own political process. In a Republic we are supposed to be able to pick the people who control our tax money and laws. Thanks to apathy, gerrymandering, and special interests, we seem to have fewer choices and politicians who feel less answerable to us.
We know the system is breaking, but not how to fix it.
