Generally, it doesnt bother me who critizises our governentment as long as it's fair and reasonably accurate. What I find "toxic" is people unfairly critizising the American citizens themselves. On this site it's predictably the same usual suspects. Usually amounts to a envy, IMO. But hey: that's only my opinion. Merry christmas....;)
