You have to understand that they are not intellectually honest. They have no issues knowingly dwelling in a false narrative. The false narrative serves to normalize their movement and recruit people as they publicly repeat it unchallenged amongst each other.

There was never anything "great" about the US - unless you believe that the world's largest experiment in white supremacism is (somehow) "great."
I can promise you with 100% certainty that we aren't all white supremacists
Yes
