    I legitimately thought this a while back. American indoctrination is sleepwalking people into being comfortable with autocracy.

    I have an American coworker whose family are undocumented from the Philippines that overstayed their visa. He himself has no papers when he was brought here as a child, and right now is just a green card holder through his husband. He is constantly astounded that they are MAGA, but have no energy to deal.

      Yes exactly. If that’s all you know then of course it’s right and normal. We are not taught everything and if we are, the US is always painted in a very positive light. The USA does no wrong and if it was wrong, it wasn’t that bad. I’m sure you know the rest of the poem.
