Self proclaimed 'adults' by narcissists and the ideologically constipated make me wary. We have to deal with those types just so we do not make them the boss, which they would love, but is dangerous. That being said, America has a high culture but the elements of political insanity pervade almost every State. No one believes the entirety of America being insane is true. It is a moot point born by simplistic thinking.

Lately, the right is using ancient laws from 4 generations ago to find loopholes to counter enlightenment for the advancement dictatorial authority and power.

To make something legal does not make it morally good. Good law is a fine craft that few possess. Many of the insane laws are made by hell bent beginners.
