Tulsi Gabbard's findings on the corruption of power within Washington

Tulsi Gabbard, former congresswoman and combat veteran, has reignited the debate on political corruption that eats away at Washington D.C. from the inside. With a direct, unvarnished message, Gabbard denounces how unchecked power becomes a weapon that destroys public trust and undermines America’s founding values. Her statements not only portray a political elite disconnected from everyday citizens but also expose how the current system protects and perpetuates those who abuse their authority.

For Gabbard, the solution is not theoretically complex, but it does require courage and determination: exercise the freedoms that the political class seeks to limit, demand accountability, and fire—without hesitation—those who put their own interests above the nation’s. This call is not an empty slogan but an action plan rooted in the original design of the Republic, as conceived by the Founding Fathers. The warning is clear: without restoring a limited government grounded in law and service to the people, the drift toward a centralized and corrupt state will become irreversible.

One of Gabbard’s most troubling points is how people who arrive in Washington with genuine intentions end up, in a short time, trapped in what she calls “the swamp.” This is not exclusive to one party; both Democrats and Republicans have shown themselves susceptible to the temptations of absolute power. In that environment, it’s easy to shift from serving the nation to serving oneself. The political culture in the capital fosters the idea that those in power are “special” and deserve to keep it, even if it means betraying principles and commitments.

Long-term incumbency has become the driving force of this systemic corruption. Lawmakers who have been in office for decades—shielded by networks of influence and financing—end up operating with impunity, acting as if they are untouchable. Gabbard warns that this cycle can only be broken through cultural and structural change: term limits, radical transparency, and active citizen participation.

Her message also carries an undertone of urgency. Every day the system is allowed to perpetuate, individual rights erode further, while a growing bureaucratic apparatus monitors, regulates, and punishes the average citizen. The solution, she insists, lies in the people’s hands: get involved, question, oversee, and above all, refuse to accept “that’s just the way things are.” America’s history proves that the power of the people can halt abuse, but only if that power is exercised with consistency and courage.

In this sense, her statements resonate with a growing sector of the electorate that distrusts both institutions and the corporate media. The call is to build a civic movement not dependent on a single leader but on millions of citizens willing to defend the Constitution. Corruption in Washington is not an accident; it is the result of decades of complacency and complicity. And, as Gabbard warns, if action is not taken now, the price will be the permanent loss of the liberty that defines the nation.
