I love my country, but in the way a person might love a parent who is abusive but themselves were abused continuing the cycle. Not a perfect metaphor but you probably get the idea.
It's so frustrating to see so much division where it becomes all too easy to condemn people on a whim, I have to admit. I know most people are normal respectable people. Ultimately, the best fix to break bad cycles would be electoral reform. Power by popular vote. That would fix everything.

But election reform would help! Dismantle electoral college and FPTP voting and we'd start to see more options than the bad and medium guys.
