Americans are exceptionally anxious about their political system, new Gallup polling shows - Lemmy.World

Americans are exceptionally anxious about their political system, according to new international polling from Gallup, a situation that sets the country apart from other rich and powerful nations. About one-third of Americans rated politics and government as the top issue facing their nation, behind only Taiwan — which faces the prospect of an invasion from China — and on par with Slovenia, Spain and South Korea. The United States also stands out for the anxiety its younger residents have over economic issues, with younger Americans more likely than young adults in many of the other 107 surveyed countries to say affordability and other pocketbook issues are worrying them

This could be the most significant constitutional crisis in American history (outside the civil war lol) but the constitution is in fact very strong and that’s why America has 250 years of legal continuity

Imagine 200 more years of successful EU integration and that’s essentially what America is so there’s a 99% chance it’s not going to collapse or something

But it will be a difficult and desperate and deadly fight but do not fall for the doomerist propaganda everyone needs to get out and help in some way and especially vote because Republicans always lose when people simply go out and vote

Dude they’re literally saying the last Democrat wins were rigged, Trump is talking about nationalizing elections, Bannon wants ICE surrounding the polls…

What are you smoking? If you don’t want to do anything right now, fine. But don’t insult people’s intelligence by pretending anything resembling a normal election is going to happen. Not as long as they are in power.

Yet the democrats just won those elections anyway

You are literally smoking the doomerist propaganda

It’s not going to be normal but neither were the bomb threats in the last election so stop the hysteria it doesn’t help your own cause and it’s the exact reaction they’re hoping you have

Democrats are part of the problem. They did nothing to prevent fascism, they only furthered it. They serve the same elite pedophile ruling class. Come on, we need everyone together to realize this so we can stop them.
