A sizeable portion of racists were pissed at the gains made by the second Civil Rights legislation. Nixon came and then Reagan, and then Fox News came in as Pravda-lite. A black man won the Presidency and conservatives just lost their minds and became even more extreme, then Trump came in as their golden cow.

They fear the looming demographic change on the horizon and would rather turn to fascism.

I mean to be truly cynical, nothing. We were always like this.

Then some people decided "maybe we shouldn't be like this" and some other people said "fuck you we'll burn this democracy to the ground to stay like this".

Honestly, this. I'm not really clear on TC's point? What exactly are you comparing?

And considering how nobody else even thought to ask this question kinda says and explains a lot.

Im more curious as to what TC or other foreigners who arent actually stuck in our American hiveminds think is wrong with America without regurgitating messages from Americans. Itd be a good outside check.

The constitution was written by people who assumed that no one would be a dick about anything.

But then everyone decided to be a dick about everything.

From what Ive seen, it started with Nixon and Regan.

I often consider Dubya to be the beginning of the downfall, but thats probably only because I was alive and aware for that period of time.

I'm not american, but from what I see on here and other forums, there was a Suprem Court ruling that allowed essentially endless campaign donations from corporations to politicians, and they've been essentially controlling what gets passed as laws ever since.

Americans please correct me if I'm wrong, but my outsider perspective is basically that

Hillary (and her PACs) actually raised and spent a lot more money than Trump. If it was legal to buy votes things probably would have been better. I am not saying all the money spent on campaigns is actually a good thing, but it's not really the cause of the problem. Trump didn't even get more votes than Hillary. That seems like a much more immediate cause to me.

This is the only right answer here. If the crazies from all walks of life didn't have a way to group up like they have, I honestly think half our problems wouldn't be nearly as bad as they are now.

Outsourcing instead of "Made in America". The super rich not getting taxed like they are suppose to. Finding some way to weasel out of it. The government running the country instead of the people. Big pharmaceuticals jacking up prices on same meds for 20 years. Corporate greed.

I was watching rewind tv and saw that episode of Head of the Class when the class goes to the actual soviet union, this was in 1988 I believe. A moscow teacher argues with the american teacher that no one can afford to go the hospital but everyone owns a gun.

Was like damn now it's even worse.

Thats a good point. I actually do blame a good amount of Trump winning 2016 on meme culture.

Greed + Pride, everything can be pointed to these sins, sugar coated the great capitalism, American value and Christianity.

Conservatives wants to hold onto power when their margin steep lower and lower in country that was built on immigration. Corporations pits bottom feeders against each other while robbing both. Main stream medias feeding the same crowd for easy money and social media spawned self made millionaire grifter with the same tactic.

One group does not believe they are working for the same group/idea their own religion is supposed to be against, twisted/skipped their own holy words but still holding the giant sign of being loyal followers. Greed at the top, lesser greed and pride from the base.
