Holding views that are fatal to modern society while enjoying its benefits… So hot right now! Maybe they’ll keep the dead half-husk of democracy that has all their stuff!

America sounds fucking awful. Why does anyone have to pick a side? Why do you have to be labelled anything political? Can't you just vote every 4 years based on your opinion at the time of the available candidates. The idea that someone leaps to defend their party regardless of who leads it is kinda childish.
In the UK the majority of adults don't wear their political allegiance on their sleeves as seems to be the case in the US (from my blinkered view admittedly, that may be unfair). It's rude to ask how people voted and you're not expected to make it known, obviously extremes exist and plenty of people make it their identity, but it's not a huge polarising issue and I have friends and family from both "sides".
The incessant need for everyone to be defined and put in their own category is a really bad thing for society. It's not a surprise that the world seems to run on black and white viewpoints more than it used to appear to. If people saw me as an actual enemy because I tried to see more than their own angle on an issue then I don't want them as friends tbh.
