    American ideology is contradictory as hell haha

    There’s definitely the “I do what I want” aspect of it, but there’s also tons of blind patriotism and willingness to sacrifice for the country (to say nothing of the half-mythical idea that the colonies were these fully independent sovereigns that chose to join together). I do think the former has been gaining serious ground since at least the 70s.
