Careful, lemmings hate it when you point out that voters and non voters are responsible for the government we have, or that it’s largely a reflection of the culture and society we propagate.
Absolutely, Trump is a symptom not the disease, American society is sick. That doesn’t mean all Americans are sick, there are good Americans. But enough Americans see psychopathy as an expression of freedom. So they are willing to vote for a clear psychopath. The disease in American society is like a cancer, it’s not all cells in the body that are cancerous, but it’s enough to make the society very very sick.
But it’s not because the democracy is flawed that USA is sociopathic, or because the oligarchs have too much power, the American society is literally mentally ill with widespread accept of a level of sociopathy that is only seen in very few countries.
Examples of that are, 3 strikes and you are out, prisoners can’t vote, lack of healthcare for all, extreme fascist-like religious bigotry against LGBT+, death sentence, police shooting civilians. and of course extremely high murder rate, and the most extreme rate of people in prison in the world.
These are points made with broad strokes, there are many more and all of them are caused by a complete sociopathic lack of will in society to fix these problems, and even a sociopathic endorsement of the above conditions. The tendency is to go with the sociopathic solution of just persecuting the victims more.
THAT’S the sociopathy of American society. That you don’t see any other country with remotely equal wealth express to nearly the degree USA does.

“American society” is sick. Which Dreamland country where oligarchs don’t control the decisions are you from again?
The whole world is sick my guy.
False equivalence.
Oligarchs do definitely not control my country, because I live in a country that has full democracy contrary to USA that is a flawed democracy.

They hate it just about as much as the non-statesians here hate this article
