It's the money. The US has the biggest economy in the world so all the competing financial interests are playing absolute havoc on public opinion generating a thousand different subcultures that normally wouldn't grow so out of control.
The rest of the world only has small fry economies by comparison, so there's no point in generating the same mass misinformation they do in the states. No matter what type of nutjob you are, the states has someone trying to manipulate you through advertisements, news anchors, etc.
I honestly don't know what the solution is over there. Maybe the states are just too big. split it into a few countries and let them go their own way for awhile.
I personally just wanna let all the states do what they want. Conservatives will never be happy unless they have guns, and liberals will never be happy unless they put controls on guns. Let them both have what they want and let them see for themselves which is better.
