Yes, the government is ultimately corrupt because the people are corrupt. The politicians are only so extreme because they are under pressure from the people to be that extreme.
The best thing that can happen to the USA would be as follows:
When the next Supreme Court justice retires or dies, Trump nominates Merrick Garland as a show of goodwill. Garland goes through hearings and doesn't disqualify himself. Mitch McConnell calls the vote. Garland is confirmed. Then the Senate changes the rules back so all judicial appointments that must go through the Senate are again subject to a filibuster and cloture takes 60 votes.
This will never happen, of course.
