I had basically the same conversation with my cousin from Argentina this morning after reading some of the stupidity that only Americans could believe on Similar Worlds.
I agree with Arthur Wellington lii’s observation about Democrats and Republicans. Heads or tails? They’re opposite sides of the same coin. Pick your poison.
What they don't seem to realise is that by airing all their domestic political squabbles, conspiracy fantasies and the like so bitterly and abusively, with no attempt at mutual understanding, analysis or compromise, on public fora used internationally, they are not doing themselves or their country any favours!
It makes you wonder why so many people want to come to the US (and I'm not even referring to illegal immigrants). So many of my friends and acquaintances over the years have come from other countries.
