Roxy,
Here's my take as someone on the outside looking in: America is insane, and that insanity is infecting more and more people every day. Americans are obsessed with all things political, and the right/left divide is controlling the narrative. It's turning a lot of otherwise thoughtful people into zombies.
I'm not saying my take is accurate--just the way I see things as an American expat. Once you step out of your home country for a few years and then return for a visit, you get a clear idea of how insane things have become. But when you're in the pot, you don't feel it slowly coming to a boil.
