It’s no different than the UK. I could say I don’t want to live there because of rampant alcohol abuse, random crime in London, racial strife from refugees, crazy politicians, insane media who focus too much on some old family with crowns.
But I know that’s not an accurate representation of the UK.
A few tiny examples: Texas, a state larger than the UK, just became a state where any resident can sue anyone else that helps someone access an abortion after about 6 weeks of pregnancy (before a lot of people know they are pregnant) regardless of rape or incest and win up to $10,000 for doing so.
States all over the country are busy banning voting on a Sunday because after church is when a lot of black people vote.
The looser of the last election, is still claiming to have won it, and millions of people genuinely believe him.
No different to the UK? Maybe try Bolsanaro's Brazil but with a larger GDP
Edit: that Brazil comparison is hyperbole, I don't know enough about Brazil to say that anyway
I'd invite you to turn off the computer, put down your phone and go out and enjoy life.
American democracy is not out of the woods just because Bidden won, he has a healthy popular vote majority, but wafer thin control of the Senate. The two Democrat senators currently blocking reforms are from Republican leaning states so they're motivations are not typical for straight Democrats. Things very much hang in the balance at the moment. Republicans are busy gerrymandering their districts, so we could soon be back to Republican control of the House despite solid popular vote majorities for Democrats, at which point we can probably kiss goodbye to the US leading the world against climate change regardless of who's president.
Can I assume, that you don't know any of this because you enjoy "turning off your computer"? Then why comment about something you deliberately avoid learning about?
The US seems like it’s unstable because that’s what gets clicks.
You can go back to any decade in the past 200 years and find outrageous “the sky is falling narratives”. Now is no different.
Actually that's pretty accurate, from someone that lives here. There are some good points though, like basic human rights (e.g. abortion), which one cannot take for granted.
