They buy Congresspeople, people who know how to speak in a regional manner to legitimize their agendas. Some of them are openly disdainful of democracy. Some of them have obviously decided that it's time to call in all the chips.

Our 18th century revolution was not a multi-cultural working class revolution. Only property-owning white males over the age of 21 could vote. It was essentially a patriarchal oligarchy. It has largely remained so, with the occasional brief progressive period like the one that started with FDR.
