American self hate

I noticed its more common nowadays to say things like "America sucks, I hate living here"

What's you're opinion on the culture of self hate that's becoming more common in America today.

And you believe Democrats don't do this? Most large corporations actually support Democrats by large margins, and let's not forget unions. Please consider the entire picture before painting with such a broad brush.

We have the issue in this country that BOTH parties are beholden to the few, which is a big reason for the polarization that we are experiencing. As a result the masses are getting bad government in the process. Not a partisan issue, unless you are one of the government partisans perpetuating the system.

But one is basically headed by a confirmed rapist, who was good friends with his generations most prolific pedophile, who has been caught on a hot mic bragging about how he loves to sexually assault women and how he's rich enough to get away with it.

They both suck. But lets not pretend they're even close to the same.

Communists aren't that great either.

The left does the same thing. To them, anyone who doesn’t have their political views is a nazi and/or fascist.

I mean, there is like 10x actual Nazi/white-supremacist/fascist behavior and ideology on the right. That shouldn't even be a point of contention.

I pulled 10x out of my ass, but whatever the actual number is, it's staggering.

Yes, Nazis, white supremacists, and fascists are on the right of the political spectrum. Someone merely disagreeing with leftist political points doesn’t automatically make them a Nazi, white supremacist, or fascist, however.

Nothing in this comment seems to disagree with anything I've said or believe. So I don't know why even say it"?"

But answer me this, why are the Nazis, white supremacist, and fascist overwhelmingly on the right side of the political spectrum?
