I think a lot of people in the US have their head so far up their ass being racist and doing other xenophobia, they'd rather drown in their own shit than than have "one of them" get something "for free".

That's what 60+ years of fascism-directed conservative politics distributed by the likes of Fox News, systematic defunding of public education, and an almost complete halt in wage increases so 90% of the population no longer has any discretionary income and is essentially forced to work paycheck to paycheck has given us. It's working exactly as intended.
"If you can convince the lowest white man he's better than the best colored man, he won't notice you're picking his pocket. Hell, give him somebody to look down on, and he'll empty his pockets for you."

, systematic defending of public education
Going to assume you meant "defunding of public education", heh.

Damn autocorrect, it was expanded saying now it can fix grammar and stuff beyond just spelling, but then it completely ignores that same stuff if it's close enough. Technically I guess that sentence still made sense, and it's not smart enough to discern context.
They CLAIMED AI fixes this. Of course it's a lie.

The US is an experiment in how much the people will take before they actually start a revolution. Turns out they take it all and they won't start a revolution ever.
-
My limited knowledge of history suggests that it's always something really random that finally sets off a revolution. Real "straw that broke the camel's back" stuff. For example, Mohamed Bouazizi sets himself on fire and suddenly the entire Middle East is experiencing the Arab Spring. There was a lot of discontent leading up to it, but in the grand scheme of things, nobody could have predicted that that would be the final straw.
To borrow some terminology from Criminal Minds, there's a difference between a stressor and a trigger.

We USAmericans love our bread and circuses!

Bad bread and boring circus 🤷♂️

To be clear, those conservative politics are shared by both parties. How often do you see Blue Dig Democrats extolling Clinton for balancing the budget (by cutting welfare) or Biden for securing the border (by locking more migrants in cages)
-
I never tried to claim the Democrats haven't followed right behind the Republicans as they marched their happy asses straight towards fascism.

Without exception, every problem with the US has a straightforward and realizable solution being blocked by a piece of shit who cannot accept even the slimmest of chances that someone they consider undeserving might possibly, in some small way, benefit.
-
I don't think that is the motive.
Usually there is a middleman that is blocking and change because they will lose money otherwise.
-
It's both, the middle man gets to do his thing because of the racism of the others.
-
The middle man also does everything he can to feed and expand that racism in order to benefit from it.
-
Very much so, and buys politicians to further that cause.

That's a fairly standard response of the right-wing internationally. The key is to just straight up ignore them.
-
-
This is the sad truth. We are unusually extreme in that sense. But despite this right wing lunacy and constant barrage of propaganda, most folks do support something like Medicare for all. Even people who vote Republican! So I keep hope alive.

Have you ever been to the USA?

I live there and can tell you that statement is quite on the mark.
-
I live there. Why?
-
I live there and this is accurate.

Have you?
