The United States of America has become a place where 60% of people are actively rooting for their country to do worse whenever their guy is not in charge. (40% of people are too busy making ends meet to even think about voting, or whether they identify with tribe A or B.)

You can't really build anything with that kind of attitude. A democracy can't work if you start imagining half your compatriots are enemies, and you'd rather blow up the entire place than let them decide anything.
