American Aversation Morten Sestoft 1. izdevums

American Aversation denotes the polarized quagmire of contemp(t)orary political debate and conversation in the US. With examples from American history and current political life this essay seeks to understanding the causes of the situation through a so-called polethical inquiry. This is a philosophical attempt to comprehend the many aspects from a social-liberal point of view, an ideological stance that supposedly encompasses all sides of a problem from the political center, and therefore from a fairly neutral ground. The present essay investigates the legitimacy, the efficiency, and the justifiability of many of the beliefs in play in America today. The lamentable conclusion is that the choices of the people are not necessarily based on reason.
