Americans tend to be more critical of their nation than most, or compare themselves negatively to others at a much greater frequency. Both the right and left do this for different reasons obviously but it’s really interesting to see.
An artist is the largest critic of their own works

Far right talks about how we’re a weak leftist, globalist LGBT society that should be more like Russia, and the far left talks about how we’re a fascist capitalist imperialist white supremacy society that should be more like China

In some ways we are, in some ways we’re not. But I’m more reaching for the extremes, with how many Americans on either side will side with our enemies over their own country

I will always side with Europe or Canada. Those will never be our enemies unless the right makes them so.

They’re not our enemies at all. I’m talking about Russia or China, whom my comment explicitly mentioned

I will never side with them, but I must make it explicitly clear, they're trying to make Europe and Canada our enemies. Trump is trying to burn our bridges here.

I mean it doesn’t hurt that there’s a lot of foreign propaganda at play to make those countries look like paradises
