A large portions of democrats too. I don’t think Americans realize how their culture of rugged individualism has affected them as a people.

I don't think you can call it a culture but propaganda to justify their personal greed and neoliberal policies. Basically sociopathy as an ideology for the elite, dressed up as "whatever" for the masses.

It’s really what American “culture” seems like to an outsider.

True, the american dream, liberty, land of opportunity, make your own way, that's why people come. But it's a lie right? So can a lie be a culture? Or is it a mass delusion? Maybe, colonial settlers also went to the US despite knowing how dangerous it is to die on a wagon train (I mean dysentery, not indians haha). So taking a huge risk of catastrophic failure could bee seen as a culture.

Take one pinch of puritanism, a pinch of rugged individualism and sprinkle on some American exceptionalism and you have a dangerous combination.

And two heaping dollops of lazy and stupid.

I recently learned about the North Korean concept of "juche" and realized, "holy shit, that's what Republicans believe."
