The USian compulsion to externalize every problem it has as analogous to a foreigner (sometimes even a caricature of a foreigner made up by the US) is really something that should be studied. It’s like this knee-jerk inability to take on any responsibility for the US fundamentally being shit. Possibly in part due to the religious-like treatment of the constitution. And the endless vilifying of leaders and/or peoples of other countries over decades, which has made it basically a constant thing to have one foreign specter or another in the public view.

It’s just projection as a result of collective narcissism. This stuff has been studied to death.
