[intended]

I know and understand. I follow American politics closely since it’s a massive incubator for techniques that get applied globally.

I promise you, it can be worse. This is kind of where being a first world person works against you; you have not experienced the feeling of hopelessness and lethargy that infects you when you live under a corrupt regime for an extended length of time.

America used to work, especially in comparison to other states.

Consider that your advantage, you have lived in a world where you know things were held under checks and balances. That it takes immense effort to undermine the systems which were set up.
