I don't understand the obsession with infantile "right left" division US politics has and is plaguing the entire world with. There is more nuance to this.
Bicameral political Stockholm Syndrome at its finest, they know no better so that's all they have <shrug>.
( #NotAllAmericans, of course - but it's certainly a sizable and vocal chunk )
It’s a means of control. Convincing everyone that the bad people are whoever is the other side keeps us divided and is very useful to the people who are actually in control.
