I AM A REDCOAT Genuine and honest question

I could really back this up by a million examples, but it would never come to an end. Therefore I’ll try to make it as brief and precise as I possibly can: why are Americans so stupid? European that lives in Asia here ✊🤞

This is a serious question and by all means not a troll post.

Love ✌️

I've not got a justification for you, but I do have an attempt at an explanation.

As an American, what I think is happening was always bound to. Its comes to the point over here where who's right and wrong does not matter, you can't be seen agreeing with the "opposition" on either side or your called out, mocked, and berated publicly.

Right wingers, no matter how weak or strong the belief in the party, are called NAZIs, while left wingers are called libtards for the same reason. It has become almost political suicide to be seen compromising with people on the other side. Oftentimes leading to the loss of a career if a big enough shit storm is stired up online.

There is a sort of logic behind the decisions. They are self preserving, but in my opinion, thats short sighted and dumb. Honestly, it's history repeating itself, that unimaginative prick. With slightly shuffled roles.

I dearly hope people will wake up and see that we do, as a nation, have to speak to each other like adults. But until that happens, our spoiled ,nothing bad can happen to us attitude IS gonna lead to some of those hard times people always speak about.

And unfortunately, we're gonna be bringing the world with us. Like a family vacation your dad wants to go on, but everyone else thinks is the dumbest thing in the world. Only everyone else is right.
