Also the average voter "has the attention span of a <insert funnily named small animal>."

I know this is meant as pithy scarasm, but god drat this isn't really true. It comes down to what's repeated ad nauseum in the media. The shutdown made the Republicans look bad, and the Democrats for some reason didn't want to bring it up in the midterms, so it's hard to really blame most people for forgetting about it compared to the other stuff that's being loudly shouted at them.

You should be making every attempt to get out the US if you're able, because there's zero chance of seeing any improvement in your lifetime.

Pretty much. There will be small improvements over time, but the course of the country has been pretty blatant since the Reagan years. America just doesn't work when half the government is intentionally sabotaging itself to pillage the country.

Then sit down at a table like adults instead of playing the most boring game known to man.

But what better way to blatantly flaunt your wealth and power is there than being out on expansive grounds in an exclusive private club while showing off your overpriced equipment?

Also if you talk business in a restaurant someone might actually overhear your horrible opinions.
