Just something MAGA-people seem to have a hard time with sometimes. Probably not as much when Americans are speaking to themselves, but as a non-American, sometimes it’s challenging to get “those people” to admit that there is indeed anything wrong with the US. As in they won’t accept a single criticism, and will loudly proclaim “America is the greatest country in the world”, while wearing a “Make America Great Again” hat, which for me pretty explicitly means America isn’t great, if it has to be made to be such again.
Doublethink is a core feature of fascism.
Not only is cognitive dissonance not a problem, they take pride in believing two mutually exclusive things at the same time. It’s proof to how willing they are to align themselves with the party.
