Re: Generational differences when it comes to how you feel about politics?

No other country is that crazy about politics. No one says "oh, this block? He's a Tory". No one else uses political leanings to describe others.

It is correct. Have you read political spiels on fs? Crazy. Have you read comments on YT and Reddit? If you haven't noticed stupidity and narrow mindness, then you're a part of a crowd, sorry to say. Idk maybe it's better offline but I really doubt it.

That's where you go wrong. You can't make generalities on Americans' relationship to politics based on FS, YT and Reddit. There is absolutely stupidity and narrow-mindedness in those places when it comes to politics, but it is not emblematic of the entire country.

DA

I think someone who has regular contact with people from the US has a perfect right to form opinions on what he sees them saying and doing. Non-American!Anon don't have to have some mythical balanced view based on also dealing with moderates who never show up in their field of vision, and they don't have to make up a more flattering picture than the one they get from direct experience. FandomSecrets is arguably a fairly small and self-selected community, and perhaps unfair for that reason, but Reddit and YouTube are giant. You're skirting close to "no true Scotsman," if you argue that's not a fair representation of public opinions in America. What would be, in your estimation? Or is it just because they think Americans are extreme, as opposed to level-headed and measured?

You’re only half right. People constantly say things like “what do you expect, he’s a Tory?” But that’s the only party that applies to on a large scale, you’re not going to hear more than one person say it about Lib Dems or Labour supporters or anyone else.
