The country I live in has more mass killings than any other first world nation... by far. We're 5 years removed from someone walking into an elementary school and murdering 20 kindergartners and 7 teachers. That resulted in absolutely nothing being done. We actually elected someone to the highest office in the land who gives credence to a man who claims that atrocity was a hoax.
We're a few months removed from a man firing thousands of bullets into a concert with modifications that turned his weapon into a machine gun. Nothing has changed. They're "looking into it."
In the past year, as the right yells on about how it's more of a mental health issue, a right elected Congress and white house have stripped regulations preventing those with mental health issues from buying guns, and are doing everything in their power to strip their access to healthcare.
We've had a year of "resistance" by the left - marches in the streets over immigration, women's rights, general disgust at the administration. Where are the marches now? Where is the demand for action? All it is as throwing hands up and saying "welp, it's hard."
This country is, indeed, sick and twisted.
