I know Americans get upset when I say this to them but honestly, I think it’s the time the United States broke up, it’s too big, it’s too powerful, and as soon as someone like him gets in charge everything goes to shit.

What’s their landmass in comparison to the US?

That’s more practical than just reforming the election system, apparently. Ugh.
Oldschool Republicans may have a point here too, perhaps less federal power is better.
