| - Mass shootings every damn day (one loose right now is a military firearms instructor who had a psychotic break and shot up almost 100 people) - No universal healthcare - No universal mental healthcare - Millions of homeless and functionally housing-insecure people - Crazy people in government who don't want it to function and who supported the insurrectionists - Absurdly gerrymandered Congressional districts that put the thumb on the scale for one side - Grotesque corruption of dark money in politics - Supreme Court justice who pals around with and takes gifts from a billionaire, oh and sexually harassed women - Like a third-world country, women don't have a federal right to choose what happens to their own bodies - No meaningful climate change policy - Massive income inequality - An inability of the average family to purchase real estate - A doddering old man sleepwalking the US into a new era of terrorism in 2026-2029 by taking the side of a brutal, corrupt authoritarian and an inability to apply the nuance to the Middle East conflict Apart from mythological ideals, what specific benefit do US citizens have that British or EU Schengen citizens lack? I want to know if it's net better in say Finland or Sweden for average people because it's not very nice here. |
