Right.
Perhaps they kept asking questions that ~~the~~ irritated the PM.
How could there be a duck where no duck could be?
... the US doesn’t have a monopoly on such behavior.
Of course! Though I can't think of another democratic country that quite as readily and enthusiastically wear political affiliations on their sleeve (literally).
It's a dedication to a team that I personally only experience in terms of the dominant sports.
It's asinine how plausible this is.
My take from the outside (i.e. not American), so hopefully I can be objective.
American politics and therefore the American electorate appears almost entirely tribal: you're either on the red or the blue team (or a third party team that is sufficiently small to ignore.)
The swing states just happen to be states where the balance between red and blue is pretty even, allowing outsized impact of relatively minor variances in voter turnout.
Tribalism within the red team appears far far stronger than within the blue team. Strong enough that anti-democratic actions that support the team are acceptable; e.g. voter suppression, gerrymandering, failing to adjust the electoral college based on asymmetric population growth.
The states' electoral systems are corrupted not by anti-democratic actions, but because such actions are possible. The crisis is that the system that was required when states had to send representatives in person by rail or horse to the capital is obsolete.
TL;DR: y'all need some constitutional amendment and electoral reform.
I certainly was coming in to these comments.

There were other reasons, but I've forgotten them.
That's why you need to earn a living, because you don't deserve to exist unless you sell your labour.
