I've been thinking about this lately. The average American probably fucking hates America without realizing it because they've been propagandized on American exceptionalism their whole lives. So instead they just think they're deeply unsatisfied with whatever the current leadership is. No, it couldn't possibly be that our great country is a top to bottom failure that can't be reformed, we just need someone to make better choices for us. So it'll just bounce back and forth from either party forever with Americans getting more pissed off every 4 years until, I don't know, nothing probably.
This is a direct result of winning the cold war. All alternatives to the status quo are unthinkable, so constant decline into a neoliberal dystopia is the only possible future. Americans can't imagine a better world, they're allergic to structural change.
someone posted a meme version of dennis sipping a coffee on the couch explaining how america goes back and forth back and forth until it just sort of ends and I wish I had saved it rn
