In America, they don't elect people; they elect parties and factions. They don't elect character and integrity; they elect pledges and promises. Win their votes with words, not with silly good deeds.
In America, they play a game, taking it so seriously, it soon is a game no more. They divide into two teams and start yelling and screaming at each other -- and the one spewing the most profanity and hatred wins.
In America, they fight over patriotism, both sides professing to be more patriotic than the other. But, they see the other side as anything but patriotic; one side sees the other as commies and socialists, and the other side sees them as Nazis and fascists.
In America, both sides swear they are truthful and honest, while the other side is a pack of liars.
In America, they even fight over who is the Christian. And, do they consider their opponents Christians? No, the other side is nothing but a cult of devils and demons. The two sides point at each other, crying, "Evil, evil."
In America, the one side treats the other as a pariah, and the other side treats them as a pariah.
In America, there are no adult voters; they're all a bunch of children.
In America, they tell you we need to return to the good ol' days. And maybe that's the one thing they get right. Supposing there was once a day when all the things mentioned above didn't exist, then, yes, it would be great to return to the good ol' days.
