There’s a particular kind of person who cheers when the president deploys military forces against American cities over the objections of their elected leaders. They call themselves patriots. They wrap themselves in the flag while applauding the systematic demolition of everything that flag once represented. They claim to love America while celebrating the transformation of American governance into something the founders would have recognized as tyranny.
Many Americans are authoritarian conservatives. They get off on seeing their out-group hurt. They are worse than cartoon villains
Inversion?
Most of the world see the current US government and it’s insanity as the basis of normal American values
Here’s the thing: we aren’t used to being America to ourselves. Hence the perception gap.
Tyranny for thee, not me! — 🇺🇲 for the past 200 ish years.
