Its because the US was literally populated by Europes trash and crazies, then they bred. The rich slaveowners then convinced the impoverished white trash that Hey, youre living in shit, but at least youre not black! to give them pride about their impoverished life.

More breeding, slavery ends, slaveowners are the Democrats, Jim Crow laws keep the white trash prideful.

WWII ends, baby boom plus Interstate causes mass expansion of white trash to all parts of America. Television becomes a new fun way to manipulate the public.

Fast forward to the 60s - Martin Luther King Jr. tries to get all poor people to band together so he gets murdered by racists wanting to keep the status quo. Civil Rights happen, Democrats and Republicans switch sides so the racists move to the Republican side, social issues move to the forefront instead of economics for the Democrats.

Pat Buchanan decides to divide the nation in the 70s for political power reasons which sets the Republican agenda in stone, things progress, second baby boom, Democrats make the cities decent while Republicans keep doing their manipulation of poor whites.

Reagan was a feel good puppet who destroyed union power, Clinton decided to play nice with Republicans which allows them to push their agenda in the 90s including work requirements for welfare and removing the divide between investment and commercial banks.

Enter 24 hour new cycle, even more manipulation of the public, W continues things with the now massive support of the religious right (descendants of the crazies), 9/11 happens with W asleep at the wheel, Afghanistan invasion, propaganda changes the focus to Iraq because stupid people, Iraq invasion, hooray for war, boo for war, social media gives idiots a microphone, slight Democratic resurgence.

Economic crash, Obama elected, 24 hour news and social media manipulation go into overdrive, jobless recovery happens so Republicans can make Obama and Democrats look bad, more social manipulation, Trump elected.
