people thought communists and communist adjacent people were loonies for believing that the liberal democracies were oligarchies masqueraded as democracies, so yes Americans actually believed it.
Worse, it’s the Temporarily embarrassed billionaire -Most Americans think they are or will one day be apart of the top 10% of the top 1%. They don’t get that upward socioeconomic mobility has stalled out in the past twenty years.
Seriously, I think they have a huge sense of entitlement but can’t understand they’ve done nothing to earn it. Culturally they get bombarded with USA USA USA is number one. They high five themselves and then stop looking at the world, news. They font notice Asia working hard to improve their economies, quality life, education, inventing tech or mastering existing tech.
Their parents had a good life so they should too. Not realizing the boomers prospered because the rest of the world had been bombed to shit in WW2, while the US economy never lost a building. Well Europe rebuilt, communism died, China settled their internal issues (mostly) and they all are building new things. While american investors look for more return on their investments. That USA USA chant was the wool being pulled over their eyes
Communism didn’t die when the current strongest nation in the world, China, is a socialist nation, something the Soviet Union never achieved and we’re watching it getting stronger by the day.
The only thing that’s stopping communism from being spread out to the rest of the world is that the US via it’s allies (mostly Republican Chinese) still leads in tech.
do most americans believe that their ruling class ever gave a shit about them ?
At this point its just pathetic. And frustrating to watch.

Yeah there’s a lot of that going on too.
