Even their conservatives more closely align with our Democrats than our Republicans. Ask any European. They'll tell you the US is insanely conservative. There's a reason we have no real paid time off, no real parental leave, no real worker protections, no real social safety net, and a healthcare system in collapse—because Americans are the most propoganized people in the world, convinced that to fix any of these problems would be "extreme" and scary scary "socialism."[/quote]

Well...the US is not perfect...but there's a reason people immigrate (legally or illegally) to the US.  My parents immigrated legally...why did they not stay or even return to a country with free health care? free college tuition? months of PTO?

Because only in the US could they, as uneducated but hard-working folks, work hard for their money and make something of themselves, sending their kids to college as 1st generation to go to college.

Sorry, but I have family in EU and it's far from perfect. You can work your whole life in some countries and still not afford to buy a house.[/quote]

Those opportunities no longer exist, if they ever really did. Immigrants come here and get thrown into the gig economy with everyone else. Many young Americans will also work their entire lives and never be able to afford a home and retirement is a mere fantasy. People can't even afford to have children, let alone pay for their education. If you can't see that the standard of living has drastically declined since your parents came to this country, idk what to tell you. Just because people still believe in the "dream" doesn't mean it's anything more than that—a dream. [/quote]

If that's the case then why do we have hoards of illigegal immigrants wanting to come into the US?  And I'm sorry...I worked hard and sacrificed and was able to buy a house, have 2 kids and put them through college with minimal federal loans. It can be done.[/quote]
