> You can't possibly compare the USA's culture to Japan's.

I can and shall.

> Much of Japan's culture is rooted in making sure you aren't disrupting the general flow of society.

It may surprise you to learn that the US was like this before. And that Japan probably won't be in forty years' time.

You know that movie trope from the 70s and before, where somebody needs a car, gets in one, which is, of course, unlocked, pulls down the visor, and the keys drop into their lap?

That's what it's like where I live.

My town had a home invasion last week. I don't think I've ever heard of that happening here.

> But that rests squarely with President Trump

No.

The establishment burned every ounce of credibility available to burn, succeeded in ousting Trump from office, and is now crying that everything has gone all firey like.

If Trump got a Big Mac on Monday, that was proof he was a Nazi. If he didn't on Tuesday, that was more proof that he was a Nazi.

Biden could nuke Dallas tomorrow and MSNBC would defend him without question. As would probably half the GOP.

The problem with "winning at any cost" is the cost.

Like it or not, that's the state of things in the US.
