I don't think the real problem is with 70% of the American people being onboard with what you argue here, rather it is that the government (writ large and with a broad brush), especially the 4th branch of government, the permanent bureaucracy, does not support it. Too many, and far too many in the House of Representatives and the Senate no longer hold these views. Rather they see themselves as somehow our "betters," a neofeudal nobility interested in increasing their own power in some cheap version of Games of Thrones or increasing their own lucre. Let's take Anthony Lord Fauci as a prime example, he crushed any of the patent-expired medications that had proven efficacy in the early treatment of Covid. Fauci was well aware of the efficacy of HCQ, Ivermectin, Z-packs, Vitamin D, and Zinc in treating similar viruses as early as 2004. But he forbade their use in the US and pressured other governments to go along with him. The result, the countries with the "best" medical systems in the world, the US and Western Europe as well as our neighbors to the North Canada had the highest mortality rates from Covid in the world, while countries where the use of HCQ and Ivermectin was common for other issues and often taken over the counter as prophylactics against Malaria, parasites and other diseases common in poorer regions of the world and equally poor medical systems had some of the lowest mortality rates in the world. Why you might ask -- because Anthony Lord Fauci had economic interest in novel untested, and in retrospect dangerous vaccines, and Remdesivir produced by Gilead one of whose major investors was none other than Bill Lord Gates.
I could dozens of other examples from the spouses of folks in Congress heading up NGOs that were virtually totally supported by taxpayer funds, to the incredible wealth gained by folks in Congress while in office, to the revolving door from the military and congress into lucrative businesses that they had been involved with while in government service.
I might argue that we no longer have a government, we have multiple interlocking crime families that are as crooked, corrupt, and criminal as any Irish, Italian, Russian, or Mexican crime families and possibly more so. At least with the various "mob" families they're honest about what they are doing rather than wrapping themselves in the Flag and the good of the American people.
