>What is wrong with americans
their constitution sets up a dogshit form of government that basically forces extremism and deadlock.
that's why every country that came after america (including mine) has sent people to america to study their constitution and government for ideas and then come back and said "never ever do any of that." and i mean that literally. we sent people to america before federation to learn how to write a constitution and when they came back the advice was that america has nothing to teach anyone about how to be a country.
why did america fail in iraq? afghanistan? well, why did anyone ever expect them to succeed? how could they govern those countries? they can't even govern themselves.
when you talk to americans they want the same shit that everyone else wants. universal healthcare is overwhelmingly popular. so is gun control. so is all the same shit that works in europe. they want the same social democracy that everyone in the west wants because that's why everyone in the west has it. but their political system is uniquely unresponsive to the electorate.
some research i read a while ago showed that literal fucking autocracies like turkey and belarus are more responsive to public opinion than american democracy.
anyway, the point is that fundamentally the thing that is wrong with americans is their refusal to accept that their problems are entirely of their own making. the reason why there are so many illegal immigrants is because american government is utterly incapable of solving the problem. and as the failures mount, the tensions build, and you arrive at the current situation where absolutely nobody believes the current america is worth saving and all that's left is to fight it out for what's left of the corpse that hasn't already rotted away.
to be more specific, the problem is the bill of rights and the supreme court, and the filibuster/minority party rule. those are the two key problems with america.
