What makes the political situation in America worse is something you can only see as an outsider or knowledge about other countries. The american system is very bi-polar. 2 parties, 2 choices, no alternatives. Yes or no, black or white. Which is turning all this into a football match. Other countries offer much more choices which makes "who are you with" much more complicated.
And this is the problem I think. People want it simple. Optimal just one of two possibilities. But reality doesn't work like that. Complexity, nuance, detail, diversity is much more prevelant in reality.
And you can see this simple world view and wish to reduce problems to that everywhere in America. On politics, on the trans-issue, the gender-issue, on race/skin-color, on climate-change, you can even see it on the middle-eastern war and which side to pick, it's everywhere. And the problem now is it's not enough anymore. The world has become too complex to put it in just 2 boxes. And people are afraid of that and trying to fight this change and having a tantrum.
And some use this fear and refusal to change and adapt and to tolerate to ensure nothing changes, to protect the status-quo out of greed. And this closes the circle to politics again.
