CMV: American politics was designed to give us all mental disorders

In the US our parties have become ideologically sorted. About 50 years ago there used to be “liberal republicans” and “conservative democrats”. Today that’s almost non existent. In other countries parties are often forced to be more centrist to attract coalition parties. In the US, because it’s a winner takes all system, the constant 4-8 year shift between republican and democrat now feels like a total change in the countries identity constantly and on loop for our entire lives.
Because of this dynamic, as a collective we basically have BPD, DID, Schizo personality disorder, and bipolar disorder. The political related violence in our streets and in our societies closely resemble regular manic episodes. It appears to be manufactured this way and somehow the rich is almost always benefited from this dynamic. Every leader we shift to almost always tends to use selective empathy as a proxy, like claiming to care about LGBT and immigrants, or claiming to care about the economy and individual liberty, and this is because emotional manipulation is the primary tactic that schizophrenics claim the “voices inside their head” use on them as well to justify the harmful acts they do to themselv

the wording alone shifts how people read this which turns this into more of a debate That’s what changes the context. At least from my perspective.

Trying to be fair, the intention might be solid, the rollout less so and that’s where the disagreement starts

Real talk, there’s a gap between the message and the outcome and that’s why this won’t land the same for everyone That’s what changes the context.

At first glance, the direction makes sense but the details are messy and that’s where people will push back Let’s see what happens next. Could be wrong, but that’s how it comes across.
