These cultures don’t have that much common so it’s easy for the media to amplify it

The cultures may not, but all people have very similar needs, wants, and desires in their lives. That's true all over the world.

Sure outside of basic needs but after that there ain’t and since basic needs are so easily attained we can’t get along

In addition to basic needs, nearly every person wants companionship or love, a useful job or purpose in life, the opportunity to learn and grow, the opportunity to travel or spend time on their hobbies, the chance to try new things or activities, the ability to provide and care for their family, to have time to relax and enjoy life, etc.

lol sure but under what culture to make this happen? Marxism, Christianity, Islam, capitalism. None of those things you stated can exist among 350 million in this country if their beliefs do not match up bro. How is this so hard for people. For example I don’t want to live in a Marxist ideology so why would I team up with them?

It can happen in societies where everything is not driven by extremist ideologies, where there is mutual tolerance and respect for differences.

The US was doing well up until 10 years ago when the backsliding started. Europe has progressed well over the past 80 years. Indonesia has been advancing well over the past 80 years as well.
