Anyway, watching videos of American politics and their rallies, I am so glad to live here, where we all—bar a few weirdos—are generally quite cynical about politicians and don't usually argue in the streets or break up friendships over it.
The stakes are higher over there I guess with bigger differences over things like abortion than we have. They're also a massive country so it's easier to demonise each other. It's hard to think of each other as enemies when we all live quite close to each other and operate under one media landscape. That last part is changing with social media but a lot of those people remain very much 'online'.
