    They’re just racists how else can you explain it

    Like if someone demonstrates so visibly what is obviously a superior system of governance you would think we would just copy that thing.

    Our government is just totally hamstrung by ideology. Even the liberals are unable to admit that state investment is a good thing and creates tangible public benefit. Sad really.

      There’s racism for sure, but it’s more than that. American government is damn near a religious institution, with the Founding Fathers as the prophets and the Constitution as the Bible. It’s more than ideological. It’s dogmatic. And just like with religion, they pick and choose which parts they believe to justify their goals at any given moment. This is also why they won’t adopt a system that does the best for the most people possible. Their religion/government demands a hierarchy where a few enjoy paradise, and the rest suffer.
