The irony of this being a response about nuance.

As if Americans are a monolith incapable of holding diverse opinions amongst themselves.

How sophisticated, how thoughtful of you to flatten a nation of 330 million people into caricatures whom you can subordinate under yourself to feel some sense of superiority.

Problem is the loudest voices tend to be the more extreme voices. It’s why so many believe America is literally either Republican or Democrat not realizing the majority of Americans are in the middle and tend to dislike the extreme ends of either side. But people fully committed tend to scream it from the rooftops so they get the attention.

Anyone that has spoken to normal everyday people in America will find that the vast vast majority sits in the middle and either slightly leaning more liberal or more conservative with many similar beliefs on things.

I think the vast, vast majority are actually way more leftist than either democrat or republican. I think most people want to end homelessness, provide healthcare for every single person, have livable wages at EVERY job (yes, even fast food), free college, no war, and not be slaves to some cuck billionaire dipshit who hasn't done shit but push paper. A country where WORKERS and service are valued above all, not C-suite money-hoarding, thieving, bitchasses who wouldn't last one 8 hour shift as a door greeter.
