Literally my life as a child. my grandma was a hardcore Democrat and my father a Republican. Every year, every holiday, they would get into it until my grandma would start screaming at him.

Jesus, didn't think Americans are that much into politics...

Seeiously, I thought you guys were more like "I don't give a fuck as long as everything's OK... more or less".

Just depends on the age group mostly, I think most younger Americans lean democrat but just don't think about it all that much.

Hm, maybe... I had this notion that things were like that since forever in America, like sure, democrats and republicans have their diffrences, but people don't quarel over their political orientations. You do you, I do me and that's that 🤷.

Though I have to admit that things were apparently getting more heated up the last 10 years or so, mainly because of social media and the walled garden it created around people thanks to predicting what your interest are.
