It’s painful to admit, but American politicians do not actually represent Americans. Over 80% of us believe abortion should be legal under some if not all circumstances. We are being held hostage by an ignorant minority.
You’re hastily summarizing some stupid political hit piece as the totality of what everyone in the country thinks. That’s incredibly lazy thinking. What country are you from where everyone thinks the same exact way and the news accurately reports it?
Evil and malicious? Of course not. Mislead by a tailor-made Christian cult that always supports whatever the cult leader thinks is important? Literally nothing more American than that. We have a state that was founded for that propose. The largest, consistent voting block in America is fueled by exactly this.
On the other hand, disallowin wheelchair ramps because there are not mentioned in the Bible would be a very American move.
Equal access to every building? Sounds like a commie plot.
A very southern American move
obligatory mention that it’s not “The South,” but ~30 minutes outside of any metro area in the US.
Evangelical Christian assholes are not uniquely southern, have you been anywhere outside of a city in any state?
They are much more powerful and prevalent down here, however. The bible belt is absolutely a real thing.

Aka backwards fucking stupid American.
Americans are not the caricatures of evil and malice you seem to think we are.
You are currently debating whether hospitals can let women die instead of performing abortions

If your politicians don’t represent the people, what the heck are they doing?
Or, why do your people still vote for them?
Because the party that most people don’t vote for have become exceedingly adept at gaming the system.
Then do something about it.
But your other party won’t change it either, because they use the same loopholes.
Our democratic process is heavily flawed. The electoral college distorts the relative power votes so that less populated states have more power.
Also, less than half of eligible adults vote, and those that do are disproportionately conservative boomers.
Only about 20% of the population voted for trump. Everyone else either didn’t care, didn’t think he could win, or didn’t want him to win.
The problem is that the non-Trumpers care to little to go to the voting booths.
You can become president of the United States with only 22% of the votes. https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=7wC42HgLA4k&pp=ygUaY2dwIGdyZXkgZWxlY3RvcmFsIGNvbGxlZ2U%3D

Have you told your leaders that?
That really hurts.
