Americans are exceptionally anxious about their political system, according to new international polling from Gallup, a situation that sets the country apart from other rich and powerful nations.

About one-third of Americans rated politics and government as the top issue facing their nation, behind only Taiwan — which faces the prospect of an invasion from China — and on par with Slovenia, Spain and South Korea.

The United States also stands out for the anxiety its younger residents have over economic issues, with younger Americans more likely than young adults in many of the other 107 surveyed countries to say affordability and other pocketbook issues are worrying them

    This could be the most significant constitutional crisis in American history (outside the civil war lol) but the constitution is in fact very strong and that’s why America has 250 years of legal continuity

    Imagine 200 more years of successful EU integration and that’s essentially what America is so there’s a 99% chance it’s not going to collapse or something

    But it will be a difficult and desperate and deadly fight but do not fall for the doomerist propaganda everyone needs to get out and help in some way and especially vote because Republicans always lose when people simply go out and vote
