It's always alien when I read stuff like this.

Most of my facebook feed is just memes and selfies.

When facebook as new/trending up years ago there were some political discussions but people quickly figured out it was worthless, how come USAians haven't?

Being angry over politics is a pastime in the USA. Not sure why this happens in some countries and less so in others.

In NZ, we follow along behind the USA in most things, so getting angry over politics is growing and growing. I see it as a hobby, growing in popularity. But also a hobby you can discourage those you know from getting into, and if the social momentum pulls us away from it then the hobby doesn't take hold.
