Canadian judging by the Canadian Flag you have on your post. I remember being in Las Vegas a few months ago and deciding to go take a trip to the Grand Canyon. Vegas offers shuttles to the Grand Canyon that you can purchase for a trip. Long story short I took a shuttle and ended up talking to a bunch of Canadians on the shuttle while going to the Grand Canyon. They sounded just like you and when I told them how many stupid people are in the US they were dead shocked. I told them straight up be thankful that your not in a country that's ruled by a bunch of conservative nutcases. The problem is like I told them is that the majority of republicans are programmed to accept authoritarian rule. That's how their minds are wired. They believe anything they are told by the republican party and just accept it at a face value. They are not wired to question authority or to examine various solutions to solve a problem. Also factor in that a majority of them are racist so they would gladly cut their nose off to spite themselves.
