Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.
Example:
- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
- Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
- No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
- Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
- No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
That's all the rules!

Honestly, the "worsening" is a worldwide problem. The US problem is quite peculiar though.
It's a multi-pronged thing. And also a thing you can look at from a lot of ways. But there are a few that, IMO are important.
We don't like change (no animals like change)
For the US: History (maybe not in the way you think)
Power
And now, I'll put some meat on those numbers.
Whether you believe that is up to you.
The US has an immense advantage which is being away from all the old battlefields. The other one is being mostly empty. Finally, it built a lot of its might by stealing the Old World's intellectual property (no shame, everybody did it at the time, China still kind of does it), and on slave labour (what? the Romans did it too cough). And of course it got all the people the Old World didn't want, like the Religious Maniacs. Well, at least they could get lost in the wastelands (so we hoped, didn't work? well, they're your problem now).
Ok, so from out Old World point of view, the US isn't just a bunch of weirdos in a wasteland any more. They've grown to be an actual industrial powerhouse. However, what's really problematic, is that it's a powerhouse with the equivalent of all the cultists we got rid of at the helm (simplifying here). Now that the US is the major powerhouse. We have to do something about those lunatics.
They've already fucked up half of Africa, they're working on Europe, but it's unlikely they're going to achieve anything there...
And that's before we even get into money (and corruption).
