I think most Americans just fall for the bullshit narrative pushed in every form of media.I think a very good case can be made that sub-consciously many if not most have such enormous feelings of white guilt that at least at a sub-conscious level they have been convinced that America must be fundamentally changed....a radical change, a change that would mean the end of America as a super-power.
Which would create a huge vacumn that some of our adversaries would rush in to fill --like a raging storm.
The net result of that would be America reduced to a vassall state paying homage to the New Superpower.
The problem with a MANY Americans is that they prefer to follow a leader than think for themselves. Laziness is without a doubt a major contributor to this problem as to think for oneself takes ENERGY. To follow the leader takes NO energy output what so ever.
