> but overall it's doing better than any other major developed country Which ones? Canada? Japan? Australia? Germany? Even places with significantly unpopular governments like France and the UK don't have a situation where one of the houses of government can't function. I think if the Italian government is more functional than the US then it's time to realize there is a real problem. Here's a list of countries by GDP[1]. I'm looking at it and struggling to find a country that is (a) developed[2] and (b) a democracy and (c) doing worse in terms of functional governance than the US. Turkey and Thailand are two options where they had attempted or actual coups, but neither are classed as developed.
