Your valid criticism is just purity testing to these people. I'm not sure what causes people to blindly worship the party to the degree that they do, but there has to be a way to bridge the gap.

The system isn't working at all here in America.

It's because politics has become the new "religion" for most people. I grew up in a cult, and the amount of crossover in thinking is astonishing: "Our dear leaders couldn't have done anything wrong, it has to be everyone else that is wrong!"
