And the bias of the media has helped push this further.
Ultimately I always say that Conservative values made the US and UK as powerful and rich as they once were. Not perfect for sure, but the best we’ve ever been known.
For reasons unknown, a vocal element of society has bought that down. It really is tragic.
It really does seem to me that US, UK, indeed western culture generally. is held to a much higher standard of account than the various other (much less successful) cultures on the planet. All societies have their problems because they are made up of imperfect Human Beings, but for some reason the West is the only one that is bashed continually for not being perfect. Whereas other societies get away with murder (literally) and no one says a word. Many even hold them up as shining examples of what we should become.
I just don't understand why people do not see through this double standard.
