----> Most of you rewrote your government after WW2. It's too hard to rewrite ours and we wouldn't agree anyway.

That's a good insight. Many of our peers in the realm of industrialized democracies were brought to a point of inflection and forced introspection after having WWII fought on their turf. That gave them the opportunity to rethink things but do so over a more narrow range of cultural / historical interests. One could argue the European Union effort (and subsequent Brexit) are examples of the strife generated when trying to rationalize modern economic / social / civil rights issues across a swath of interests comparable to that of the US.

Democracy is hard. No one said it was perfect. Or painless. But it's better than all of the alternatives. Americans need to remember that. And give ourselves more credit for trying, even while recognizing our failures.
