Until you take the time to understand why 50% of the country voted the other way...what their concerns are...and why despite this "power hungry organization's" anti America agenda...they still had half the country vote for them in 2018 thereby leaving the power structure to what it is now allowing for this...you are just as closed minded as those you are currently ignoring by attributing all this as the corruption of the leadership.
Here is the reality...Half the country is happy with the moves the Republicans are making right now. These people have real issues that are not addressed by Democrats. They aren't all just victims that dont understand what they are voting for. If this significant portion of the country didnt exist...the Senate would be Democrat controlled (at least since 2018).
By jumping on the "everything Republicans do is evil and everything Democrats do is good" bandwagon, you are part of the problem...driving the conversation toward polarized opposites as opposed to fixing real issues.
For the record...I dont have a horse in the game, but if I did I would probably vote Democrat.

To be fair, we're on a Canadian forum filled with mostly Canadians, and Canada's "center" is further left than America's. The Federal Conservatives in Canada are more similar to the moderate Democrats and Republicans in the US than they are to the Republicans as a whole, so I don't really think any "Canadian" is part of the problem so much as Canadians inherently do not understand the further-right politics of the Republican party. Even Bernie Sanders or AOC, who some Americans label as crazy socialists, would probably find better homes in the Liberal party in Canada than the NDP.
Many of the things Americans fight against are things Canadians have happily embraced for many many years and would find it crazy to give up. Of course, there are fringe right-wing elements in Canada as well, but none with the power of voice that they have in the US.
