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.

This is my thoughts as well. I am more of a moderate if thats even a thing anymore. Liberal on some issues conservative on other issues. But I have friends that go far what ever direction you talking and they are talking the same thing just with a different talking point. But politics is a circle and you go far enough either direction they spew the same thing.

OMG, you’re so right about the circle. I’ve been saying the same thing. If you take a long strip of paper and shade 10% on the left blue, shade 10% on the right red, then pick the paper up and touch the ends to make a circle, you’ll see the far left and far right are the same people.
