Probably because your only points about right-wing/conservatism are “they don’t want me in their country
“ but nothing about economic/social policies/values. Why shouldn’t Americans be angry if the Mexican Govt is supporting Mexicans to illegally settle in the US

Maybe because it's the greatest and most prosperous nation in the entirety of human history?
Maybe because building a future elsewhere is nightmare mode?
Maybe because plata holds more weight than plomo here in America?
Maybe because our culture has defined your dreams since you were old enough to read?
Seriously, where else you gonna go? England?
ETA - Real talk, America has always been a country of immigrants. The Irish and Italians were hated on for some time as outsiders and cheats, just like south americans today. Starting a strong cultural base in America is likely the best bet for the continued prosperity of any given genetic lineage. A people can grow, here.

It was a rethorical question, but to answer my your question.
In my country I love it. It's not "nighmare mode" to live here and make a future. I don't want to migrate. I was feeling alienating by poltics that was my issue (before I got some great advice here), I never said I wanted to live in USA. I don't.
And no ofense, but you haven't "defined my dreams" of my childhood, if you mean by enterteinement imo the japanese deserve all that credit.

The Japanese were copying something american when they did that for you, bruh
Our cultural influence runs much deeper than you might think.

Everyone copies something from everyone. Nothing is truly original.

So what? That doesn't change the fact that one core entity was the force that set the whole machine in motion.
The originality is not the issue here, dude. The influence and generative power is.

America has great stuff, I respect it a lot, but saying to it is the "core identity" of everything I like is a huge stretch. Stroytelling has been since before USA existed dude starting with everything the greeks did.
A bigger stretch is that America "defined my dreams" since I was a kid. I have had equal amounts of good japanese, british and local entereinment up until now.
... anyway this is offtopic,. I already got the advice I wanted so, I am out of this thread. Peace.

Oh, the dude scooted already.
Just wanted to point out that Latin America hates gays, and many of them become troons because there's actually less stigma.
Ever wonder why South America produces so much trans porn... they're gay men with bolt on titties, avoiding persecution.

It's just cool that people from all over the world who have nothing to do with the US and are unaffected by it still are into American politics. No matter how fucked up America and her political landscape currently are, she still rules the rest of the world and makes everybody else jelous.

The correct political ideology is Anticentrism, which posits that extremists should all team up to kill centrists, then duke it out themselves to create one super-ideology.

siding with any one political party or school of thought is for someone who's too lazy to form their own opinions and need the herd to crowd-source their own thoughts. use your noodle and come to your own conclusions on things, don't rely on party alignment to inform your political decisions.

This is my main criticism of the mass immigration policies of the west of the last 50 years. Even people that are naturally aligned with right wing like OP @SherlockMexicano , are still inclined to tribally align against the right wing.
And the motivation is for similar tribal reasons. The left really is no less racist than the right wing (just against different groups), oikophobic instead of xenophobic, which is equally bad.

The left has gone to shit, there's no getting around that fact.
But it's always felt weird to me to call myself conservative, right wing, Republican etc.
Now I'm more sympathetic to conservatism than I used to be, I know now that it's not all bad, but the trouble is, I remember the past, Dubya, Cheney and Rumsfield were all loathable men that got us in a war that cost a lot of good American lives and minds and what did it really achieve in the grand scheme of things? Similarly to go even further back the Vietnam war was an even worse travesty, but I lived through the Iraq war and I'm still pretty raw about it, I have a cousin who fought in that war and has struggled mentally ever since, I hate how they opportunistically used 9/11 to sell America on a war that had probably already been on their agenda from the start and only made a bad situation that much worse.
And I remember how it used to be the right that wanted to control what people could say, watch and play, I remember Jack Thompson.
Seems like most people remember nothing prior to the 2010s, but I don't, I remember the 2000s like it was yesterday and things used to be very different.
So the right is far from perfect either, at the end of the day I'm just a guy who calls it as I see it, I call out bullshit wherever I see it and there's a lot of bullshit going around.

The reason why there is a “right or left” is because in a democratic election it is mathematically optimum for a voter to have the decision between the 2 candidates as more money is spent to campaign for a single candidate per party. And that it is easier for a person to choose between 2 then 3. And the goal of an election is to have the most popular vote for a candidate and therefore it is more efficient to spend campaigning on one guy then 2. For example the republican candidates in 2016 weren’t ted cruz and donald trump, it was just donald trump.
Both parties have a substantial amounts of power and because it is not challenged very often, nothing will stop them from doing damage of some kind. Democrats are communists and republicans are ethnonationalists (this is an extreme but you see my point).
If you were to ask me the solution would be a superior election system. The way it works is that you divide your population into small groups of 10 or 7 and they decide amongst themselves who is superior and they are chosen as representative of the group. These representatives will be divided the same way as the populace and the process repeats until you get an elected leader.

Unless you want something it's perfectly fine just not to give a fuck about politics. Most people don't. You don't see them online so much but only because they don't screech endlessly and with the increasingly partisan nature of online discourse they end up just lurking in a lot of places.
If you do want something pick the side that's most likely to give it to you and roll with it. Even if they're not totally on board with everything you want or vice-versa you'll do a lot better with support than you will trying to rock it solo.
If nobody else wants what you want then write a manifesto and hope for the best.
