Concentrated minority interests will ALWAYS defeat dispersed collective majority interests in any system of government/institution that doesn't terminate in an individual owner.
This is basic public choice theory.
Any government or corporation that does not have a individual Owner/Operator or King will inevitable die of its own corruption, actively acting against the interests not only of its core charge, but against the interests of the system's own survival. This is why all democracies and republics commit suicide, and why large corporations whose founders have moved on and have weak CEOs inevitably become inefficient and destroy their own core competency (Google is maybe the worst search engine in the world at this point, Yahoo is often better; because they haven't updated it as much)
The most degenerate will set the tone of sexual politics because they're the slim minority that cares the most and has the most to gain, whereas normal people have 10k other concerns and can't dedicated their lives to defending normality. Same with farm policy, it will always be set by the narrow concentrated interest of corporate food producers and recipients of subsidized government food stuff: This is what's happened to America's food supply, it's what happened to Rome's before the fall. Down the list of every policy.
Every individual item will be controlled not by the public good or even majority will, but by the narrowest interest that can make it their life's work and either get rich, or lead a life of sloth by controlling it.
Homelessness policy is not set by the businesses and people who live in the areas destroyed by them but by the activists and social workers who get more funding the worse the problem becomes, and who will fight to the death to prevent you from arresting or forcing out the addicts, because they're part of the social Worker industrial complex and they'll lose money if the homelessness problem gets better or stops hurting normal people.
The idea of the central government regulating sexuality AT ALLwould have been alien to anyone in the 19th century. This was a State and probably even a local matter (this was why there were Openly advertised brothels in the old west, 10 miles from dry counties). likewise women voting was a non-issue since almost all women were married and their husband had a vote, and they both shared all their economic and property interests.
But the Government discovered they could mine the votes of Shrewish unmarried women (who don’t just vote like the men in their family), then the government discovered they could start regulating every workplace for how it treated female employees to mine more power whilst giving out scraps to that concentrated interest, then it discovered it could do the same for homosexuals, then it discovered that applying the same “anti-discriminatory” principles it could do the same for the Trans, and is now slowly creating a eunuch class of commissars who wield anti-discrimination laws to control the regulatory life of every company.
This in just 100 years from the time when even regulating open brothels on main streets was a state and county matter. And in some counties saloon owners were free to insist that a waitress must also prostitute herself to work there (she could seek a husband or other employment if she didn’t want to), whilst in others Prostitutes might driven out entirely or forced to wear specific outfits to denote their shame.
This is how free Americans and local governments were in the 19th century.

This is how microscopically the government, and the federal government especially, narrows in on concentrated minorities who can benefit via the pillaging of the majority, this has recurred in every single industry. This is what every environmental and safety regulation is doing… The government rarely actually helps the environment, but by god will it make you hire an accessor whose entire career and 6 figure income comes from regulatory fiat, and my god will that accessor tell you the only way to comply is to hire a half dozen other 6 figure specialists. And every one of them will organize and fight to the death to keep this grift going, whilst the customer who actually buys the good that’s not 50cents more expensive? They’re getting fucked this way by 10,000 different government grifts. they can’t organize to fight any of this, doing so would take hundreds of hours of research that in the end, if they won in DC, would just save them personally 50 cents, but across an economy and a million grifts, this is hundreds of billions of dollars.
This is why governments cannot ever be reformed except via a dictator who's Junta forces out the democratic corruption, takes ownership of the entire system, and hunts this stuff down because it’s now hurting HIS bottom line and economy by billions; barring that it can only reform via collapse.
Either the Public Choice problem is finally solved via someone gaining enough power to become the owner/operator of the new regime, or it is solved by the system collapsing and lots of little owner operators tearing it apart into their own little kingdoms.
America has the worst System of government ever conceived. actively designed by satan to corrupt all its own ideals ( might even be literally true, look up the DC pentagram)
Everything about the American system is designed to prevent a Ceasar from rescuing the system from its own (inevitable) corruption via the assumption of dictatorial power... Indeed this is the ONLY thing the American government is designed to do well. It expands, corrupts it's own ideals and people, and then is perfectly calibrated to resist any reassertion of it's own ideals.
So the only real solution is to rip it apart, reduce Washington DC to a wasteland, and let the Warlords, Duchies, Free Cities, and newly declared (yet to be corrupted) Republics that devour its corpse realize just how fatty and decayed it really is, and just how much potential and greatness their was in the American People and American culture that is buried and undermined at every opportunity.
Trump is the prime example of what happens when you try to take over and reform it... and they used just 1% of the force they used to resist previous attempts. Nixon they removed, Kennedy they killed him and his family that wouldn't go along with it, 1860 they razed half the country.
As long as DC stands the Federal government will fight to the death to keep corrupting American Industry, Culture, and life… It will keep finding newer concentrated minority interests whose interests can be advanced by destroying the wealth of the commons.
Fortunately America is more than equipped to liberate itself of the tiny 10 x 10 mile district which adds so little but takes so much.

"Everything about the American system is designed to prevent a Ceasar from rescuing the system from it's own corruption via the assumption of dictatorial power"
It's funny, the American founding fathers were Romeaboos but took the exact wrong lessons from Rome; they read historians like Livy and Tacitus who romanticized the Republic and bemoaned the loss of the parasitic senator class' power, conveniently ignoring the fact that Rome was most stable, successful and powerful under the control of monarchs. Hell, it was kinder to its neighbors, too: the image of Rome as this militaristic, bloodthirsty empire is pretty much only applicable to the Republic, while the Empire had extremely stable borders.
When Augustus said "I have restored the Republic", many erroneously believe this was a cynical ploy to keep the illusion of "Republican" government, but this is anachronistically projecting the modern definition of Republic backwards; the /res publica/ he claimed to restore could be thought of as the "will of the people" (or perhaps "commonwealth"), which his regime absolutely upheld compared to the senate.
I've often thought that since it's the federal government which has outgrown the Constitution, maybe it would be better to dissolve the union and go back to being sovereign states. Maybe not 50, but definitively not one big country.
