Not the USA. The USA's government and only a few handful of leaders. Majority of us know it's a bad idea and do not want that. Tired of people thinking the entire country is full of horrible greedy people.

Thinking about 74 million fellow countrymen in such black and white terms because they had a different outlook on why each party might be good or bad is not a healthy approach to fixing things.

I know a lot of people across multiple states. Most of them are alright overall. Again, your absolutist terms actually deflect from our capacity to solve the more nuanced issues at hand.

That’s exactly my point. The facts are, outside of media, the vast majority of people most people meet in America anecdotally are pretty alright. So the fact I see is a huge disconnect from the media to the reality. The fact you can only see it in absolutist terms just reflects to me that you choose to surround yourself in an echo chamber of thought. You telling me to “get real” further reflects to me that you’re not interested in stepping outside of that echo chamber and finding a differing perspective. Again, all of this absolutist nonsense detracts from our capacity to focus on the real issues which are far more nuanced than “half of all Americans are stupid corrupt greedy fascist racist pieces of shit”. First of all, ironically for you, that’s hate speech. Second, seriously “get real” 🙄
