I think the majority of both sides are "pro America". The problem is that that looks different to different people.

Both sides are not pro america at all. Both sides are run by corporate interests. We live in what is often called inverted totalitarianism. Its why so much of our tax money goes towards weapon manufacturing, drug companies, realestate holdings, the banks, and quite a few other sources all owned by the same corporations that all also own each other.
Blackrock/Vanguard/State Street/Tech Oligarchs/KJoch Brothers/etc...thats who makes policy and is the reason you are paid badly and so many are struggling.
Trump is not the cause, just a symptom of a sick "democracy" in which the public discourse only touches a few social issues but not the real reason for inequality which is failing social programs, lack of worker solidarity, low pay, high inflation. Not only that but the economy is constantly "growing" but not for you or me. hence the massively increase rich poor gap we see today.
I highly suggest reading some books by someone like Chris Hedges or Noam Chomsky about all of this. Its depressing but necessary.
