You're not too far off. I would say we're more like a "hive", but a very competitive hive of hyper-individualists (is that a contradiction? yes). Americans compete over everything. Our neighbors were lowkey competing on Nextdoor as to who got power back faster post-hurricane. Everyone who got it last was certainly noted and then it turned into who had it out the longest. There always has to be a "more than". Even if it's losing at something, we have to place on the leaderboard somewhere It's petty, but it comes naturally to us.

A thought I removed from my post, to keep it short, is it's worth noting we had been conditioned for the longest time to follow media. So much so, it was the method as to which we connected to the general cultural temperament. It's obviously not as effective as now as our individual experiences diversity and social life is more and more fragmented. We're not sharing the same experiences in media we used to, so it can seem like we don't even share the same interest anymore. But it's a habit which is difficult to lose because of the ubiquity of media in American life for the past 50+ years. It was considered to be for the longest time, the closest we could get to having a national conversation without sharing the same geography.

In some sense the hurrah around the candidates is because deep down people do want to get back to that close connection as a country ASAP. The Democrat messaging is effective for this because it advertises itself as a way to satisfy this need the fastest as it's a low bar, and it's something that the anti-Progressives often miss entirely. "Vote for me and you'll finding belonging because we're ALL going there/this way". Except we won't. It'll be another shitty 50/50 result I get the Hollywood-ffication of politics is dreadful, to say the least, but it's rooted in a really old ideal we still hold dear but the benefits of it have all but been lost to societal noise. Edit: And if it all this sounds like we're really easy to manipulate. The answer is "yes".

Now the women of America will mobilise, just like they do in Big brother when a gorgeous hunk of a guy goes up for eviction of a brazen hussy girl, and they vote to save the hunk!!!

Women hate other women, as Big Brother voting showed

The women of America are now lining up to vote for that gorgeous hunk of a man, TRUMP to save him from that evil Brazen Hussey of a B***H, Karmala

TRUMP WILL WIN

Unless like in 2020, when Trump actually won, the UNDemocratic Party steals the election again.

SAVE TRUMP FROM THE HUSSEY!!!!!

She was awful.

She just gave an autobiography of her life. That she comes from a poor background.

And she cares about things, like, no body else does?

She's gonna make America better, well she's been the VP for the past 4 years, she's been part of making it worse.

Who cares love, what are your policies?

i thought an absolutely brilliant moment was when Kamala's little nieces taught everyone how to say Kamala's name. Let's see maga get her name wrong now after being taught by a couple of little kids

You've been in office for the past four years, petal. Where you helped destroy the great economy that the Donald built.

Well of course you do. The colour of a person's skin is the single most important thing for a racist. That's what racism is, judging a person by their ethnicity.

Sorry for triggering you. I don't really believe you're a racist, not intentionally anyway, I just think you've been led down the wrong path. It happened to many of you. Not your fault.
