(4,856 posts)Guns easily for sale, half the population on psychoactive drugs, unregulated hate filled right wing radio, propaganda,no political accountability for insane statements and actions, economic hardship for 95% of the population, lack of proper education, desensitized children who embrace violence, Faux news with it's flag draped patriotic nefarious bullshit advocating nut jobs to "take action", unbridled war and the brainwashing of our youth to fight in those wars. Capitalism as a whole is obviously a failed experiment after the 2008 crash and bank bailouts but these are other symptoms of what unregulated capitalism brings and the US is the insane guinea pig the rest of the world is watching to see what not to do. The fact all the guns are out there just adds to the already volatile situation. Throw in all the religious zealotry and bigotry and deep seated racism and voila' you have the American cocktail. A potent mix of madness.
