How can I prevent my frustration of the government from turning into hatred?

I would estimate that 70% of Americans (from previous questions and polls) don't trust the American government to act in the best interest of the general population. The only thing holding us back from a revolution is that there is still a lingering faith in our "democracy". People are starting to wake up to the scary truths that our "democracy" can be bought and the foundation of our "democracy" is controlled by Republicans and Democrats and not by any neutral parties that don't have obvious conflict of interest when it comes to creating a fair democracy.
