The USA has turned into an awful country (ethics, crime rate, parties)

Remember I said:..........."Right wing suporters do not have the mental sophistication to vote in the own self interest."

FACT: Over the last thirty years right wingers have pushed for right wing Supreme Court Justices to be appointed to the Courts.

FACT: Much of this ideology centered around the abortion debate, claimed threats to gun ownership, too many rights for "criminals".

FACT: The right wing faction on the Supreme Court is about to abolish all limits on corporate money coming into elections to influence voters.

You thought the USA has too much corporate influence now?......................You haven't seen anything yet!

Just wait till you see what the abortion radicals, and gun nuts, and authoritarians were able to do with SCOUTUS.

We are screwed!

And this has absolutely nothing to do with the things that are truly wrong with the United States.....

You are demonstrating typical liberal nonsense about how tortured and condemned you are in America because many people have a sense of decency and don't want more degeneracy creeping in than there already is

See the above typical response from a right winger.

Corporate money influencing our government is NOT the problem!....it's some sort of unamed degenerates....maybe the gays? or lazy minorities? Muslims? Athesists?

Yes that's the ticket!

Corporate influence over politics has EVERYTHING to do with the things that are truly wrong in the US.

Liberals who name call.

What is your problem with gays?

I think gays are decent people myself, but you seem to blame them for something

Doesn't seem like you want to address the real problem, like the economy, big media playing sides against eachother, foreign policy etc

Please note that s/he didn't say anything about people. He was describing behavior.

Calling degeneracy a social problem is not the same as calling people names. The latter seems to be more of a left-wing phenomenon these days....

And what group exactly is this moral bastion of society that you speak of, this group of "many people who have a sense of decency and don't want more degeneracy creeping in than there already is"? Who exactly is this enlightened group?

No more than you can generalize that all of the USA and all of it's citizens are accurately portrayed by your OP.

People who speak out against this sick Hollywood influence. Those who don't want this in their society. That is who the "enlightened" group is

Of course you seem quite contented with it.....
