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

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

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.
