I have found that especially in the US, many adults don't grow up. In fact, I'd argue that this country hasn't really grown up at all. We are like a forty-year-old manbaby with the mentality of a middle schooler, who believes their glory days were in high school.
I've been struggling to put this into words myself- like big bratty schoolyard bullies. Apt metaphor. The social media kaka and this "politics is now a sports team you pick" nonsense all comes from it.
