I was also going to comment on how individualism plays in this and US culture. It also doesn't help that the visible "leader" of the US happens to be an extreme narcissist. Due to trickle down culture, behaviors, and attitudes things are getting worse. I'm see the following becoming the motto across a large segment of the population: "Rules (laws) for thee, not for me." Which follows the idea of tribalism and the hidden and unconscious idea of the ingroup and outgroup and that government and laws exist to protect the ingroup from the outgroup. I have had less liberal ideas most my life. I have recently come to say "eff it, climate change whether real or not (I think it's real)and regardless of whether we humans can do anything about it or not (the forces of the universe may still be greater than we can handle and out of our control, we can either come together and take on/fight nature, or we can continue to form tribes and fight each other." Humans seem to need an enemy or something to fight and resist. Let's restore the environment. Yes, there will always be humans who want power, money, and control. Not sure what the best solution is to address that.
