Not the US themselves, just your familial world ("obey and believe or I'll beat you up until you do"). From what I understand, the US are basically ruled by lobbies, and political parties are either sponsored by or even representatives of said lobbies, meaning politics are paradoxally a public structure serving very private interests.
