Americans (i would type it your way but my autocorrect) like to have their cake and eat it too. We typically say, “We don’t agree with this thing” when somewhere around 50% of the country or more agrees with that thing.
There’s a really old episode of South Park called I’m a Little Bit Country about the Iraq war and the dichotomy of political groups. Conservatives and proggressives realize they are giving eachother cover.
Even though America always seems to do the worst thing in the world at the time, there are so many people in the country who audibly and visually don’t like it, that they get to feel like it’s being done to THEM as well.
We Americans are both the perpetrators and the victims! We are powerless, but our voices matter! It’s all a part of the golden handcuff package that keeps most people comfortable enough to do nothing.
Imma be honest… It’s hard to argue with this one.
