How could you possibly know that the patriots, or a similar style of organisation, don't run America?
How could you possibly know that this whole "competition" between the Republicans and the democrats is just a show? That voting is just a sham?
That everything in American culture, from public opinion to the news, is all influenced by this organisation, and that democracy is simple filler for the textbooks?
Think, how could you possibly know that there isn't this organisation running everything?

Do you know how hard it is, to completely control a country? Stalin managed it only by killing thousands and enslaving the rest, and that only lasted half a century, let alone almost led to WW3.

Do you know how ridiculously hard it would be to keep that a secret? None of these conspiracy theorists would even exist. They would be right. We would all know about it. And the country would fall apart. Stalin and Hitler both tried that. Shit, the Holy Roman Empire tried it and even they fell apart. Its NOT possible.

The elections are just a show. The American Police State is ultimately run by the FedRes and various other banking conglomerates.
