  1. The US has congealed all levels of government in practice and politically also. I don't know why this has occurred in your country but it has. So I would suggest even though it might not be the case your Federal representatives either fairly or unfairly are associated with local government wackjobs , take Minneapolis Minesotta , defund police has turned into paying more for police and a 77% increase in murders in the last year but that's old news. I don't have any answers for your country because it seems political disfunction is the norm and partisanship has reached the levels it did during the civil rights era once again. Saving face is a big problem in the US, you are no different to the Chinese in this way. The day American exceptionalism dies you could start approaching the standards of liberal Democracies around the world , of which on many key measures except wealth per capita you perform poorly. Let's take one issue health, why does your country pay more in government funded healthcare than Australia both as a proportion of GDP and gross amount per capita. Your life expectancy is rated at 46th best and is approaching a 5 year gap between the US and Australia. Clearly something isn't working. Sorry if I am a bit negative, truth is I find out how lucky I am in Australia as an ordinary person. I hope things get better for you. Maybe American Exceptionalism (which is arrogant feelings of superiority) should become American potential because certain aspects of your country give it potential above many others with the resource base both mineral and agricultural along with being the largest wealthy liberal democracy the potential is always there without having to oppress other countries for it to be realised as was common in the past across the board.
