Are you surprised? I think the problem here is the ignorance of an average voter in US. It's kind of insane to me how much people are not aware of the actions of the US government, especially in subjects like foreign matters. What I see on the social media is that people tend to focus on dividing problems are let politicians to create sides easily. A good example wood be helping out some of the college graduates with tax payers money. I think the sense of doing something for greater good is pretty low here, meaning that people tend to focus on the implications on the individuals rather than focusing on what it gives to the public. This sort of society is an easy target for dividing politicians and politics.
