It's a complex subject. A contrarian is surely anyone who doesn't hold cartoonishly simply views. America's 240-year experiment in constitutional government is genuinely unique in the world. I find that admirable. The fact that the current US president literally attempted a coup and was then forgiven by the voters - not so admirable. Germany's post-war constitution and political stability are also somewhat legendary and impressive. But Germany's ability to create so many voters who reject the system, and then to further piss them off by locking them out of that system - not so impressive. It's complex.
