We’re not all insane. The problem is that there’s a very vocal minority that’s insane. There are between 10% and 30% of our population that think anyone who opposes them should be violently overthrown. They justify any actions they take with “the liberals would do this to us so we’re just beating them to it.” (Note: We would not.) This vocal minority is getting more representation than any other group and they still complain that they are underrepresented and that the entire country should bend to their whims.
Unfortunately, things are going to get worse before they get better unless the majority of sane people vote to ensure that the crazies stay out of power.
Wow from an outside perspective I must say you USians are very insane (at least when it comes to politics)

We have a growing proportion of our population that is uneducated and easily manipulated.
It’s a major bummer.
